Instructions
Step 1
Boil a full kettle
Step 2
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high hea
Step 3
Once hot, add the diced chicken with a pinch of salt and the juice of 1 lemon and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to brown

Meanwhile, add the quick cook spaghetti to a pot of boiled water with a large pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over a high heat
