Method

Using cling wrap, cover the chicken thighs and flatten so they are much the same thickness

Then pat the chicken dry on both sides, lightly cover with olive oil and carefully rub in the Creole Herbs and Spices from the spice pouch to both sides then refrigerate for 30 minutes before returning to room temperature.

Next in a heavy based pan with olive oil and medium heat, brown the chicken on both sides then set aside.

Then, add a little more olive oil and cook down the onions until soft then add the mushrooms, creme fraiche and mix well. Next place the marinated chicken back in the pan, taking care not to over cook the chicken.

At the same time add the Angel Hair pasta to salted boiling water and cook to packet instructions. Do not drain. Simply serve the cooked pasta directly from the boiling water to the pan with the seasoned creole chicken and the mushrooms. Toss everything together so the pasta picks up all the amazing flavours. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the pan and serve.
