Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon rapeseed oil, or sunflower oil
- 800 g chicken thigh fillets, diced, or chicken breast fillets
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 360 g dried wholemeal pasta
- 100 g parmesan, grated, or Grana Padano/Italian hard cheese

Optional:

Instructions
- Add oil into a deep stock pot and set on medium-high heat. When hot, add the diced chicken and fry for about a minute each side until seared from all sides.
