BBQ Cheesy Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

  • 200 g Bacon lardons
  • 600 g Chicken breasts, Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 Onion, Peeled and chopped.
  • 3 Cloves of garlic, Peeled and crushed.
  • 2 Red peppers, Deseeded and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 250 g Dry pasta
  • 400 g Tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Sweet smoked paprika
  • 6 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 750 ml Hot vegetable stock, See notes.
  • 100 g Grated mozzarella
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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 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.
