Method

Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 25 mins

Preheat oven to 180°C degrees. Cook the pasta according to instructions. In the meantime, heat the oil in a pan, fry the chicken, bacon, onion, mushrooms and garlic for about 3-5 minutes, until the onion softens and the chicken browns.

Turn down the heat to a simmer and add the creme fraiche, cream, and crumbled chicken stock. Keep the heat low, as if it is too hot, it may curdle. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, making sure the stock cube has mixed in.
