This is a very quick and easy midweek dinner, packed with flavour. Adjust the quantities to your liking to serve more people. Serve with a bottle of Spier Seaward Chardonnay
Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 15 ml olive oil
- a small bunch of spring onions, finely sliced (reserve some for serving)
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 medium size smoked chicken breasts, sliced
- 250 ml fresh cream
- 10 ml wholegrain mustard
- salt & pepper, to taste
- a generous handful French chives, chopped (reserve some for serving)
- about 200 g pasta of your choice, freshly boiled & drained
Method:
- In a wide pan, heat the oil and fry the spring onions & garlic over medium heat until it is soft and fragrant. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes until lightly golden, then add the cream and mustard. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, then season with salt & pepper and stir in half the chives. Add the pasta and toss to coat, then remove from the heat at once.
- Serve hot, scattered with more spring onions and chives.
