Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt.
  • Heat a little cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.

  • Stir in the garlic and sun-dried tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavour.
