Coat the chicken in the paprika oregano spice mix and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 mins per side. Transfer to the lined baking tray and bake for 14 mins / air fryer 13 mins, until cooked through

Trim the tenderstem
Add the casarecce to the saucepan and simmer for 8-9 mins. In the final 3-4 mins, add the tenderstem to the pasta and cook for the remaining time, then drain together. Remove the broccoli from the pasta using tongs and set aside
Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion and garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Pick the basil leaves from the stalks and thinly slice. Zest and quarter the lemon

Reheat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and tomatoes and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
Add the garlic , sundried tomato paste, the half pack of chilli paste (use less for less heat) and cook for a further minute. Add the stock powder, 150ml of water (75ml for 1 person) and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-4, until reduced slightly
Stir though the soft cheese, cooked pasta and half of the basil. Add a s squeeze of lemon and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water to loosen if it's too thick

Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear
Thinly slice the chicken against the grain
Share the tomato pasta between bowls and top with the chicken breasts. Serve the broccoli alongside, sprinkled with the lemon zest. Garnish with the remaining basil and lemon wedges
