Chicken and bolognaise sauce are not two ingredients I ever thought of put together. The other day I standing at the fridge peering in wondering what we were going to have for dinner. When I lived at home my dad would laugh at me if I did this in front of him.
Dad would ask me if there was anything interesting in there or he didn’t realise the TV was in the fridge. To which I would sarcastically laugh and say no. I’m sure it sounds strange to many but by just simple looking into the fridge I would gather a lot of inspiration. I change honestly say this mad method of mine works as we ate a delicious meal. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Chicken Spag Bowl was a delicious dish that we all enjoyed. It was a very easy meal to prepare and cook. Plus it was very tasty too. All the ingredients in the sauce are freezable so you could make this meal is advance and freeze it for another occasion. The meal was also tasty the next day as leftovers.
