• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, carrot and celery, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in step 3!). • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic paste, herb & mushroom seasoning, garlic & herb seasoning and omato paste. Cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

• To the saucepan with the chicken, add orecchiette and the boiling water (21/4 cups for 2 people / 41/2 cups for 4 people). Stir to combine and cover pan with a lid. • Simmer, stirring occasionally, until orecchiette is 'al dente', 14-16 minutes. • Remove from heat, then stir through baby leaves and the butter. If needed, add a splash of water. Season to taste.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
