Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Finely chop celery.
• Pick thyme leaves (see ingredients).
Little cooks: Run your fingers down the rosemary stalk to remove the leaves!
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• Cook diced chicken and diced bacon with a pinch of salt and pepper, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook celery and leek until tender, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add classic roast seasoning to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add cooked chicken, cooked bacon, fusilli, chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people), stirring to combine.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fusilli is 'al dente', 12-14 minutes.
• Remove lid from pan, then stir in cream (see ingredients) thyme and baby leaves and simmer, until slightly thickened and leaves are wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Divide one-pot herby chicken, bacon and veggie pasta between bowls.
• Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
