Method

  1. Put the chicken legs in a saucepan and cover with 2ltrs water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, skimming off any scum and fat that rises to the top. Strain the liquid through a sieve into a jug, then shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones.
  2. In a separate pan, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions until just al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. Return 1.8ltrs of the cooking liquid to the pan and stir in the miso paste. Add the courgette, peas, shredded chicken and spaghetti and simmer over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until the peas are cooked through and bright green. Season to taste, then ladle into bowls and top with the chilli, spring onion and coriander to serve.
