Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

- To the boiling water, add fusilli. Cook for 12-14 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water.
- Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, peel then chop onion in to 1/4 inch pieces.
- Trim snap peas.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) garlic spread, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook in batches for 4 servings, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Sear for 2-3 mins,then add snap peas**
- Cook for another 3-4 mins until chicken is golden and cooked through and snap peas are tender-crisp.
- Remove the pan from the heat, then transfer chicken and snap peas to a plate and cover to keep warm.
