Cooking time 40min

1 medium/large chicken breast
1 small onion diced
2 handfuls of grated cheese
Half cup or 200ml Sour cream
Handful or 2 of peas
Handful or 2 of corn
1/3 Parmesan cheese
Salt
200grams of spiral pasta or penne

Method
1. Preheat grill on med/high. Cook the pasta following the packet instructions. When done drain well.
2. Throw onion with a bit of oil in a fry pan and soften, try not to brown. Add chicken and cook. Add peas and corn and cook till warm. Add sour cream and parmesan and salt to taste. Cook till all is mixed in well.
3. Put the cooked pasta in the fry pan and mix everything together.
4. Place into a oven safe dish and cook under the grill until the cheese melts and goes brown. usually takes 5min. If grilling is not a option a oven on 200deg will do the same thing.

Tips
Salt is needed, I can’t explain why.

Photos kent!!!

And salt is needed in everything.

salt is a flavour 'enhancer', if you dont go overboard. amongst other things.

you really should be taking pics of your culinary exploits.

What's "1/3 Parmesan cheese"?
Do you mean a third of all Parmesan cheese in the world? For reals?

image stolen from the place i stole the recipe from

sorry haha 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese will do fine.

that better be fresh parmesan cheese and not the grated crap.

why would you use grated crap...a block of parmesan lasts for almost a year.

FACT.

and by grated crap i mean the powdered stuff in a can.

you don't explore flavours very well.
If you liked that chicken bake but want to inhance it even more try adding these

teaspoon fresh ginger
2 large shallots
half a bunch of coriander
tblspoon garlic fresh
few shakes of cajgen - you know what i mean..
and lots of cracked pepper with the red things in it.

add the shallots just before you bake it so there not soggy when you eat.
