PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 12-15 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
CHICKEN PREP
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Season and set aside in the fridge.
TOMATO SAUCE
Place a pan (with a lid and large enough for the pasta) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and the sliced chilli (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickening, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add ½ the picked oregano, 5ml of sweetener, and seasoning.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the flour and one containing the cheesy panko crumb. Coat the butterflied chicken in the flour first, dusting off any excess flour. Then, coat in the whisked egg, and, lastly, the crumb. Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
MELTING MOMENT
Return the pan with the sauce to medium heat. Mix in the cooked pasta and ½ the crumbed chicken pieces, and sprinkle over the grated cheese. Cover with a lid until the cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes.
TIME TO EAT
Dish up the loaded pasta. Scatter over the remaining crumbed chicken and the remaining oregano. Drizzle over the lemon juice (to taste) and enjoy, Chef!
