Place chicken breast on a deep oven tray and place in the oven for approx. 15 minutes. Pour wine in the frying pan while stirring and cook until half is evaporated. Add chicken stock, salt and passata. Cook the sauce until it thickens slightly. Slice chicken and place on a plate. Serve with penne pasta and the sauce drizzle over.
