Ingredients

Crispy salami

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 100 g salami, cut into small pieces

Chicken spice mix

• 1/2 tsp cooking or kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp paprika

Tomato base

• 1/2 onion finely chopped
• 1 large chicken breast diced small (about 450 g)
• 2 to 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 red capsicum diced
• 2 cups spiral pasta
• 3 cups low sodium chicken stock
• 1/2 tsp cooking salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/3 cup semi dried tomatoes chopped

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add salami and cook until crispy. Remove and leave the oil in the pan.
2. Mix chicken spice ingredients in a bowl. Toss diced chicken until coated.
3. Add onion to the pan and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until lightly golden.
4. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add capsicum and semi dried tomatoes.
5. Add pasta and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
6. Cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce thickens.
7. Serve hot and top with crispy salami.

Tips

• Cut salami small so it crisps quickly.
• Lower heat before adding tomato paste if your pan runs hot.
• Stir pasta occasionally so it does not stick.
• Add a splash of water if sauce thickens too quickly.

Storage

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat with a splash of water or stock.
• Add crispy salami after reheating for best texture.
