Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast
  • ¼ package egg noodles
  • 1 cup closed-cup mushrooms
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 spring onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 25 g butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ cup double cream
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon freshly-chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Bring a pan of water to the boil, add a pinch of salt and the noodles, and cook according to the packet instructions.
  • Drain the water and set aside.
  • Dice the chicken breast and add it to a sealable bag together with one tablespoon of oil, garlic granules, paprika, salt and black pepper.
  • Give it a good shake to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
  • Heat up a grill pan and grill the chicken pieces, about 3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Chop the mushrooms, spring onions and cloves of garlic and add them to the chicken together with the peas.
  • Stir for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a large pan, melt the butter, add the flour and quickly stir to combine.
  • Pour in the milk and whisk for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken into a sauce. Add half of the cheddar cheese, season with salt and pepper, add the double cream, noodles, chicken and vegetables.
  • Toss well to combine, then add everything to an oven-proof dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes until piping hot.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley.
