Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
Now, let's get started!
Boil a full kettle
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your diced chicken breast and cook for 10-12 min, turning half way, or until cooked through (no pink meat!)
Meanwhile, finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
Grate your cheddar cheese finely
Add your fresh orecchiette to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook the orecchiette for 4-6 min or until cooked with a slight bite
Once done, drain the orecchiette, reserving 150ml [200ml] [250ml] of the starchy pasta water
Once the chicken is nearly ready, reduce the heat to medium and add a generous knob of butter with the chopped garlic, your tomato paste, ground smoked paprika, white wine vinegar and your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)
Give everything a good mix up then add your stock mix and reserved starchy pasta water – this is your buffalo pasta sauce
Add the orecchiette to the buffalo pasta sauce with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and half the grated cheddar
Give everything a good mix up – this is your buffalo chicken breast & fresh orecchiette
Serve the buffalo chicken breast & fresh orecchiette in a bowl and top with the remaining cheddar and sliced spring onion
Enjoy!
