6. Stir in your onion mixture, the chop chicken fillet

7. Cook for around 10 minutes, still over medium heat

8. Finally pour in your canned tomatoes

You must notice I have still not salt or pepper..
This is because I will add my Dehydrated Diluted Chicken Stock Cube later on and to avoid ending up with a Gravy too salty, I hence prefer to add it at the last minute
Increase your heat to high

10. Reduce heat to medium

11. Add in your deluted chicken stock

12. Give it a good stir

15. Reserve

16. After 5-8 minutes, stir in your cooking cream

17. Stir well to evenly mix the flavors

18. Reduce heat to low

19. Add your thyme and chilli

20. Give a gentle stir

21. Add in your shrimp

22. Stir well and allow to simmer over LOW heat for another 5 minutes

23. Meanwhile, in a deep saucepan, bring to boil around 4 lt of salted water

24. When it starts to boil, add in your Spaghetti

25. Allow to cook to your desired firmness

26. While your Spaghetti is cooking, check your Creamy Gravy Sauce

27. If needed add salt and do not forget to pepper

28. When your Spaghetti is done, drain and drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over your Spaghetti and mix well. This will prevent it from sticking
