🛒 Ingredients

• 220g raw chicken breast, cut into chunks

• 60g red onion, diced

• 70g sweetcorn (tinned)

• 100g red bell pepper, diced

• 40g Nando’s Peri-Peri Garlic Sauce, medium

• 60g Philadelphia Protein Cream Cheese

• 100g 0% fat Greek yoghurt (I used Aldi own brand, but FAGE works too)

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 5g garlic purée

• 340g cooked macaroni pasta (approximately 170g dried — I cook, drain and then weigh)

• 20g chorizo sausage, diced

  
  

Method

1. Cook the veggies:

   
   

   Add the red onion and pepper to a large frying pan and sauté for around 5 minutes over a low heat. I add a splash of water to soften them instead of using oil.

   
   

2. Add the chicken & chorizo:

   
   

   Add the diced chicken, chorizo and sweetcorn, then turn the heat up and cook until the chicken is cooked through.

   
   

3. Cook the pasta:

   
   

   While the chicken is cooking, boil your macaroni according to the packet instructions.

   
   

4. Make the creamy sauce:

   
   

   In a bowl, mix together the Philadelphia Protein Cream Cheese, Greek yoghurt, Nando’s Peri-Peri Garlic Sauce, garlic purée and smoked paprika.

   
   

5. Bring it all together:

   
   

   Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the chicken mixture. Turn the heat OFF before adding the yoghurt sauce.

   
   

6. Stir & serve:

   
   

   Mix everything together really well until lovely and creamy, then serve!

   
   

Easy peasy and SO yummy!
