Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and celery. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken and celery, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, add cream (see ingredients), Dijon mustard, the salt and the reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.
• Remove pan from heat, add baby leaves and cooked penne and stir, until wilted. Season with pepper. • Divide creamy mustard chicken penne between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
