400 g	Chicken thighs
350 g	Tomatoes
2	Scallions
1	Onions
100 g	Cream cheese
30 g	Cheddar cheese
50 g	Fresh mozzarella
240 g	Penne
1 cloves	Garlic
1 tsp	Paprika
.5 tsp	Onion powder
.5 tsp	Garlic powder
1 tsp	Dried dill
1 tsp	Dried parsley
200 g	Chopped tomatoes
85 ml	Hot sauce
1 tbsp	Cornstarch
250 ml	Chicken stock

Spray a frying pan with cooking oil spray. Add the onion and fry until lightly golden and softened, and spray with a little more spray oil.
Add in the chicken, paprika, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper and fry until the chicken is browned and has a lovely colour from the paprika. Add in a little splash of water just to deglaze the pan of anything stuck to the bottom.
Then add in the crushed tomatoes, hot sauce and diced fresh tomatoes and stir to combine, just simmering for a few minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Cook pasta in boiling salting water until al dente. When cooked, add this into the sauce and mix to combine, then add to a oven proof dish. Preheat oven to 200c/ 180c/ 400f or gas mark 6.
In a saucepan or frying pan, add the cream cheese, garlic and onion powder, plus parsley and dill along with the stock and heat while whisking until the cream cheese is all melted and you have no lumps visible.
Mix the cornstarch with a little water a couple of tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Then add this to the sauce and allow to bubble stirring every now and then until the sauce thickens. Once thickened, spread this over the top of the pasta bake (kind of like you would with a lasagne).
Scatter the grated cheeses on top and then place in the oven baking for approximately 20 minutes, or just until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden on top. Sprinkle with the chopped spring onions and serve!
