Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice white and light green parts of leek. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
While the pangrattato is cooking, cook trottole in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, then drain and return the trottole to the saucepan.
Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken and leek, stirring until leek has softened and chicken is brown and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove pan from the heat, then add longlife cream (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder and red pesto, season and stir to combine. Gently stir through the cooked trottole.
TIP: Add a dash of the reserved pasta water if the mixture seems too thick!
Divide the chicken, leek and creamy red pesto trottole between bowls. Top with pangrattato and serve with pear salad.
