Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 400g chicken breast, chopped into large chunks
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
• 400g can chopped tomatoes (or passata)
• 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
• 500g penne pasta (or similar)
• 150ml double cream
• 20g parmesan, grated
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• chopped parsley to serve

Method:
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken, season lightly and fry for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden all over. It does not need to be cooked through at this stage. Sprinkle the cajun seasoning over the chicken. Add the tomatoes, half a can of water and the stock cube. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Bring a large pan of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook for a minute less than the package says. Stir the cream into the chicken and simmer gently. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the chicken mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the parmesan and lemon juice and cook for 1 more minute. Sprinkle on the parsley and some extra parmesan and serve.
