1 red pepper (deseeded and sliced)
1 red onion (thinly sliced)
3 tbsp olive oil 300 g penne or fusilli pasta
4 chicken breast
1/2 Knorr Chicken Stock Cube
2 tbsp fresh chopped thyme and oregano
pinch of 1 tsp fried chilli flakes
2 garlic clove (finely minced or chopped)
150 g packed cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)
A handful of fresh rocket leaves

Mix the onions and peppers with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast for 20 minutes at 200°C. (Alternatively, sauté mixture in a pan for 15-20 minutes while stirring occasionally.)
Cook pasta al dente following packet instructions. Drain and put aside.
Make a paste from KNORR CHICKEN CUBE, remaining olive oil, herbs, chilli and garlic. Rub the chicken all over with paste.
Heat the grill or griddle pan. Barbecue or cook chicken for 5 minutes on each side. Cool the chicken so it becomes possible to handle. Slice the meat.
In a bowl mix together pasta, onions and peppers, chicken, cherry tomatoes and rocket leaves. Finish with vinaigrette dressing.
Serve warm or cold.
