Cooking Steps

PDF

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook risoni, uncovered, over high heat, ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes.
• Drain and return to saucepan, add chicken-style stock powder and stir to combine.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, slice lemon into wedges.
• Halve snacking tomatoes (see ingredients).
• In a medium bowl, combine chicken breast strips, garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken breast strips and snacking tomatoes, until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, 6-8 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Remove pan from heat, add the butter and honey and turn chicken to coat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.

• To the risoni, add spinach & rocket mix, tomatoes, red pesto, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine.
• Slice chicken.
• Divide red pesto risoni between bowls. Top with garlicky chicken and cherry tomatoes.
• Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
