Step by Step Guide:

  • Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with cajun, paprika, oregano, garlic granules, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the chicken whole until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest.
  • Finely dice the shallots. In the same pan, gently fry until soft and golden.
  • Finely chop the garlic in herbs and slice the sun-dried tomatoes. Add to the pan and cook briefly to release their flavour.
  • Bring a large pan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente.
  • Add the tomato & vodka sauce to the pan, stirring through. Stir in diced basil and a splash of cream if using.
  • Toss the drained pasta through the sauce until fully coated.
  • Slice the chicken evenly and serve on top of the pasta. Finish with grated pecorino, extra basil and black pepper.
