Method
- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the garlic, onion and chicken for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and keep warm.
- In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil and cook the peppers and aubergine for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, under lightly browned.
- Return the chicken mixture to the pan and add plenty of seasoning and the honey. Continue to cook for a further 7-8 mins, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Cover and keep warm.
- Just before the chicken mixture is completely cooked, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well for 5 mins, then return to the saucepan.
- Just before serving, toss the chicken and vegetables into the pasta. Mix well and then pile into warm serving bowls. Serve immediately.
