How to Make
- 1.
Boil the Pasta
In a big pot of salted water, boil your pasta until just done. Drain and keep aside. This is the base of your chicken cheese pasta — soft but not mushy.
- 2.
Sauté the Chicken
Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and add diced chicken. Sauté on medium heat until cooked through and golden. This should take 6–7 minutes. Remove and keep aside. This step makes sure your chicken cheese pasta recipe is packed with juicy bites.

Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pan, melt butter and stir in flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it turns slightly golden. Slowly pour in milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Once the sauce starts to thicken, add the grated Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese and stir till smooth and creamy.

Bring It All Together
Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the sauce. Mix well so everything is coated in cheesy goodness. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce feels too thick, a splash of pasta water helps.

Serve Warm
Serve your chicken cheese pasta hot, with a sprinkle of extra cheese or even a dash of chilli flakes for grown-ups. A slice of garlic toast on the side? Heaven.
