  1. Drizzle some olive oil in a pan and add the chicken once it’s hot.

  2. Add your paprika, oregano, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for 6 mins to get some color, stirring regularly.

  3. Add your pasta, stock and stir. Secure the lid on your pan and leave to simmer for 3 mins less than the pasta cooking instructions.

  4. Stir a few times during this time so the pasta cooks evenly.
