1lb / 450g boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup tomato ketchup

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is 'al dente.' Drain and set aside.
In a large frying pan or skillet, fry the onion in a little oil until it is soft and slightly brown.
Add the garlic and fry for another minute.
Add the tomato ketchup, tomato paste, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cayenne pepper and paprika. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken slivers to the sauce. Add water if the sauce is too dry.
Cook for about 5 - 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the pasta and cook for a minute so that all the pasta shapes are completely coated in the sauce. Serve with a large salad.
