Method
step 1
Tip the pasta into a pan of boiling water over a medium-high heat and cook following pack instructions. Drain and set aside. Add the oil to the pan and fry the sweetcorn until beginning to brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
step 2
Reduce the heat to medium-low and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until beginning to soften, then add the chicken, turn the heat up to medium, and cook for 8-10 mins until almost cooked through. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min before stirring in the piri piri seasoning, coating everything well.
step 3
Pour in the stock and double cream, then tip the sweetcorn back in. Cook for around 5 mins to reduce the sauce a little, then tip in the pasta and mix to combine. Cook for 1-2 mins to reheat the pasta and serve.
