1 packet

(ContainsGlutenMay be presentEgg, Soy)1 packet
chicken breast strips
1 sachet
Aussie spice blend
1
tomato
1 packet
garlic aioli
(ContainsEggs)1 packet
Dijon mustard

Boil the kettle. Add the boiling water to a medium saucepan. Cook the fusilli pasta in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken breast strips and Aussie spice blend, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, roughly chop the tomato. In a small bowl, combine the garlic aioli, Dijon mustard and grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
When you're ready to pack your lunch, roughly chop the classic spiced chicken. Stir the tomato, baby spinach leaves, chicken and cheesy mustard dressing through the fusilli. Season to taste. Divide between two containers. Refrigerate. TIP: This pasta salad is best enjoyed cooled!
