Method
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add in the chicken pieces. Cook over a medium heat for about 3 mins, stirring a few times.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, according to pack instructions.
- Meanwhile, add the garlic, crème fraîche and tarragon to the chicken and lower the heat. Season well and let the sauce bubble while you cook the pasta.
- Once the pasta is al dente and the chicken is cooked through, drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, along with a little of the cooking water to loosen it slightly. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste).
