  • Finely chop the garlic and add to the pan then sauté the garlic for 1 minute
  • Add the finely diced onions and cook for a few minutes until soft and translucent
  • As the onions are cooking cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks then add into the pan and cook for 5 minutes until the chicken changes colour and turns white
  • As the chicken is cooking cut the bell peppers into bite-sized chunks similar to the chicken chunks then add to the pan
  • Add the salt and pepper then cook for 5 minutes on medium heat
  • Add the sweetcorn and cook for a few more minutes
  • Add the pasta sauce and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat
  • Drain the pasta and add into the mixture mix until all the ingredients are combined
