Notes

Tips/Tricks
  • don’t be scared by the chicken “burning” it’s supposed to be blackened so it does need to char a little 😉
  • adding the splash of water to the chicken will stop it burning but also steam it a little keeping it tender
  • you can substitute chicken tenderloins or thighs if you prefer
  • my pasta took 11mins to cook (as per packet) so I cooked it for 8mins with the lid on before removing the lid for 2mins. Adjust the cooking time with the lid on according to your pastas instructions
