    1 Place chicken on one-half of a sheet of baking paper twice its size. Sprinkle with five spice. Season. Cover with other baking paper half and with a rolling pin flatten chicken until double in size.

    2 Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil spray. Cook chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through. Set aside.

    4 Add paste to stock with beans, pumpkin and coconut milk. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

    5 Add chicken and noodles and heat for 5 more minutes. Serve garnished with fresh coriander and lime wedges if you prefer.
