I found some great organic chicken breasts in my supermarket recently and wanted to include them in some recipes. I steamed them until they were completely cooked through, then made this simple yet delicious dish… (Serve with a salad of grated white cabbage and carrots, or chinese leaf and tomatoes)

Chicken With Broccoli & Spaghetti serves 4

400g (14 oz) wholemeal spaghetti
salt
500 g (1 lb) broccoli
175 g (6 oz) thinly sliced cooked chicken
150 ml (5 fl oz) low-fat plain yogurt
black pepper
1 crushed clove garlic
1 tbsp chopped dates
1 tbsp chopped walnuts

Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to instructions on packet (usually about 12 minutes) unil tender. Drain it and keep hot.

Boil or steam broccoli until just tender and drain.

Heat chicken in a pan with the yogurt, pepper and garlic until gently simmering. Season with salt to taste and add to broccoli. Add the dates.

Put the spaghetti into a warm serving dish and pour the sauce over the top. Toss carefully and sprinkle with the walnuts.
