Fusilli Chicken Tomyam

Perfect when it is chilly outside, you just walked home from class and couldn't be bothered to cook rice & the accompanying dish/dishes.

Ingredients
boneless chunky-diced pieces of chicken
ready diced carrots and swede
potatoes, diced
fusilli
bell peppers
instant tomyam sauce/tomyam paste
oil

Heat oil and fry the paste/sauce till fragrant (or follow the instructions given for the paste/sauce). Add carrots, swede and potatoes. Fry for a minute. Add water, chicken pieces, peppers and fusilli. Let boil till everything is cooked. Season to taste.

It may not be haute cuisine but it may just be the thing you'd want to eat in front of the TV at the end of a busy day.
