Method

  1. Season chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and brush with olive oil. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over a very high heat and cook the chicken for 5 mins on each side, until cooked through. Cut into strips.
  2. Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water, until almost ‘al dente’. Drain and return to the pan. Stir in remaining ingredients and return the pan to a very low heat for 1min, stirring as the sauce heats up. Fold in the chicken and serve immediately.
