Ingredients
Bacon Lardons:
- 200 g
Chicken Breasts:
- 600 g (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
Onion:
- 1 (Peeled and chopped)
Garlic Cloves:
- 3 (Peeled and crushed)
Red Peppers:
- 2 (Deseeded and cut into bite-sized pieces)
Dry Pasta:
- 250 g
Tinned Chopped Tomatoes:
- 400 g
Sweet Smoked Paprika:
- 1 tsp
BBQ Sauce:
- 6 tbsp
Hot Vegetable Stock:
- 750 ml (See notes)
Grated Mozzarella:
- 100 g
Salt and Pepper:
- To taste
Instructions
- Heat a saute pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon lardons and fry for 5 minutes until starting to brown. (They won’t need any oil as they usually release their own fat.)
- Add the chicken pieces and cook for a further 5 minutes until the chicken is sealed and starting to brown.
- Add the onions, garlic, peppers and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
- Add the dry pasta, chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika, BBQ sauce and 500ml/2cups of the vegetable stock and salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir and pop the lid on and cook for 15-20 minutes cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Five minutes before the pasta is due to be cooked, preheat the grill to high.
- When the pasta is cooked, give everything a good stir, sprinkle over the cheese and pop under the grill for 3-5 minutes until melted and golden.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of stock based on the pasta’s cooking requirements.
