12 oz. (350g) chicken breast
1 tsp. wheat flour
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 small onion, diced

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging. Chop the chicken fillet, season with salt and pepper and dredge with flour.
Heat oil in a large pan and cook chicken over medium heat, then season with oregano. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
