    This was nice but I did find it a little bland. I'd suggest putting a fair bit of wine and lemon juice in the pan with the chicken when it's cooking. When the chicken's cooked, reduce down and stir some creme fraiche and parsley through the juices and season, use this sauce to stir through the pasta. Also, I used chicken breasts, and the cooking time was a fair bit longer. I'd give them 10/15 minutes in the oven before popping under the grill.
