Our step-dad does this meal for our two girls, hence we now call it Grandad's Chicken. He was trying to introduce them to different flavours so just kind of added a bit of everything. They both really like it so we now make this quick and easy chicken and pasta dish for a midweek meal. It's great for kids, particularly when you need to give them a good feed and a few hidden veg 😊

Steps

1

Spray a large pan with some cooking spray and add the carrot, celery and onion. After a couple of minutes, add the chicken.
2

As the chicken starts to brown and the vegetables start to soften, add the Chinese 5 spice and mild chilli powder. Mix well to coat the ingredients with the spices.
3

Once the chicken is cooked, add the vegetable stock to the pan and simmer for 15 minutes.
4

After 15 minutes, in a separate pan, cook the pasta in boiling water for about 10 mins or until cooked. (Leave the chicken and vegetables simmering).
5

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and then add to the chicken and vegetable pan, stir well, then serve and enjoy 😊
