This is one of the best pasta dishes I have tried in ages!! I had some ingredients in my fridge that I wanted to use up and I stumbled across this recipe from a zaar member, who I had made recipes from before and enjoyed, so I knew I had to try it. It was so good my son could not keep from going on and on at how much he loved it. I made everything as stated except I browned whole breasts and added them at the cream stage to finish cooking through, sliced thickly and served over the top, just thought it made for a prettier presentation.

3. Pour in the wine and allow to cook off for about a minute, then add the water and stock powder and cook for a couple more minutes until it reduces a little.

4. Pour in the cream and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes until the chicken is well cooked and tender and the sauce is creamy.

5. Just before serving add the mustard, tomatoes, cheese black pepper to taste and the basil leaves.
