PENNE PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving some of the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
STOCK & SMOKY Chicken
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water and set aside. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel, cut into bite-sized pieces, and season. Place another pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the chicken until golden, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add ½ of the smoky rub and fry until fragrant. Remove from the pot.
SAVOURY SAUCE
Return the pot to medium heat with all the pot juices and a knob of butter. Fry the onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and the remaining smoky rub and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the tomato paste and fry for another 1-2 minutes, shifting constantly. Deglaze the pan with the diluted stock and simmer for 3-6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and mix through the pasta, the cooked Chicken and ½ the chives. Season well. Loosen with a splash of the reserved pasta water if necessary. Sprinkle over the cheese, close with the lid, and allow the cheese to melt, 3-4 minutes.
