- Now add shredded chicken pieces and if you wish can add some vegetables (carrot, capsicum). Place the lid and cook for a minute. If the sauce sticks to the pan add some water in which pasta was cooked.
- Just before serving, take a fresh nonstick pan. Heat some butter and add 2 tbsp of the cooked sauce with chicken. To this sauce add 1 serving size pasta (1/2 cup) and 2 tbsp of cream. Mix well and cook for few seconds on medium-high heat and serve immediately with chopped coriander.
- Or you can skip step 4 and mix all the cooked pasta with sauce in the same pan, add cream and fresh coriander… cook for sometime and serve in a big platter or bowl.
