Advantages: Quick, very quick

Disadvantages: None

First off a little story, a few months ago I was at a friends house, we'd been playing the great Guitar Hero (check out my review) when my friend offered me something to eat, the only thing was he didn't know what he had in his kitchen.

We had a root around the cupboards and the fridge and found a pack of chicken breasts, a small tin of sweetcorn, some dried chillis, a huge bag of pasta and some lemon, not forgetting cheese and pepper.

So I got to work, I sliced 4 chicken breasts in to small pieces, maybe 1cm thick and 5cm long, then placed the chicken into a sauce pan, lightly drizzled with olive oil, I added some lemon juice to the mix as well.

I added enough pasta for atleast 4 servings to a large sauce pan and started to boil that. I find adding some olive oil to that keeps the pasta from sticking.

I got 2 or 3 dried chillis and removed the seeds from the middle then cut very finely, this ensured there is a kick but not a mouth burning one. Once happy with this I added to the chicken and kept stirring. I sometimes add fresh chives as well, garlic also goes very well.

The Chicken strips were cooked till they turned that great white colour, though I always cook a few so they start to turn brown on the outside, to add that crispiness to the dish. I Added a tin of sweetcorn, this adds a really great sweet taste thats works very well with the chilli.

Once the pasta and chicken were cooked, I drained the pasta and mixed in with the chicken etc.

My mate then grated plenty of cheese over the top and it was servged straight away. If you have some add some sour cream.

We both really enjoyed this meal and it fed us for 2 meals, and have both cooked it many times since.

Summary: Heres a very quick chicken with chilli and sweetcorn served with pasta.
