  • 2 Celery
  • 1 Onion
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Stock Cube
  • 500 ml Water
  • 2 tsp Cumin

  • 2 tsp Mixed Herbs
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes

Instructions
 

  • Add the oil to the casserole dish and allow to heat up on a medium heat before adding in your chicken.
  • Allow to seal and brown for around 4 minutes each side.
  • While the chicken cooks dice your carrots, celery and onion.
  • Once the chicken has browned add in the cumin, tarragon, mixed herbs, thyme and chilli flakes.
  • Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until your chicken is fully cooked.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked remove and place to the side until later.
  • Add your carrots, celery and onion to the pot and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle the flour and butter over the vegetables and stir together.
  • Let the vegetable soften for around 8 minutes before adding in your stock.
  • I like to add one stock cube with 500ml of water. If you would like a stronger flavour you add always add another stock cube in later when the sauce has formed.
  • Cover and allow to cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Shred or cut your chicken to your desired thickness.
  • Add your chosen pasta into the pot as well as your shredded chicken.
  • Stir and allow to cook until the pasta is ready. Approximately 10 minutes
  • Finally add your cream cheese and stir thoroughly and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
