- 2 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Boil a kettle of water.

- Once the pasta is al dente, drain and divide amongst 4 serving bowls, top each equally with the crème fraiche chicken mixture.
- Serve garnished with a little more chopped parsley and grated parmesan if required.

This reminds me of the healthier pasta version of a chicken and rice bake that we used to have for dinner! And don't peas, corn, and carrots just make everything happy 😀
