1. Heat the oil in a deep nonstick frying pan, then add the chicken breasts and scatter round the lardons. Leave to cook over a high heat for 4 minutes while you gather the other ingredients together.
2. Turn the chicken over in the pan, give the lardons a stir, then pour in the wine and let it bubble over a high heat until it has virtually evaporated. Now add the petit pois, the cream and penne, season, then stir well. Cover the pan and cook for 4 minutes more until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Serve straight away.

  I don't use precooked pasta for this. Simple, fast meal solution - with food this quick we've got no excuse for takeaways!

  Perfect to use up left-over ingredients - chicken, bacon and a bit of double cream. And an excuse to open a bottle of white as well! Not cordon bleu - but the kids loved it, and it got them eating peas....

  I made this for dinner yesterday, but used ready cooked chicken in pieces, it was delicious. Would be nice cold also, but never got to try that as there was none left over!

  I used mascarpone instead of cream and added a very small amount of strong cheddar. Absolutely delicious! Also diced chicken breast.

  Delicious and easy to make. I cut the chicken into chunks and used fresh pasta, also added a bit of cheese to give it a bit more flavour. Can see it becoming a firm favourite in my house!
