Instructions
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil over high heat. • Finely chop parsley. • Thinly slice apple. • Grate carrot. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
Little cooks: Take charge by tossing the chicken in the seasoning!
• In a large frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes • Transfer to a bowl, add parsley and season to taste.
• While the pangrattato is cooking, add penne to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and return to the saucepan.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken and diced bacon, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to medium heat. Cook light cooking cream and red pesto until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Return chicken (and resting juices) to pan and stir through penne. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce mixture looks too thick.
• Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine a drizzle of vinegar, olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper. • Add apple, carrot and spinach leaves and toss to combine.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
• Divide rustic chicken and bacon red pesto penne between bowls and top with the herb pangrattato. • Serve with the salad. Enjoy!
