Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, turning, for 8-10 mins or until browned all over. Transfer to a slow cooker.

  2. Step 2

    Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until golden and just starting to soften. Add the garlic, paprika and cayenne pepper, if using, and cook for 1 min or until aromatic. Stir in the tomato puree and stock. Season. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker.

  3. Step 3

    Cover and cook for 4 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) or until the chicken is tender and breaking up into large pieces. Cook, uncovered, for 15 mins on high or until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the cream and stir to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain. Return to pan with the butter. Season and toss to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the pasta mixture among serving bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with parsley.

    Serve with... ground paprika and steamed green beans.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.

You’ll have leftover flat-leaf parsley here. Use it to make spaghetti with kale and parsley pesto. Or, finely chop and place in ice cube trays. Top up with oil or water, then freeze until firm. Store in a sealable bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Add to your cooking for a herby boost.
