Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 560g Chicken breast
  • 340g Dry penne
  • 240g Mushrooms
  • 100g Baby spinach
  • 260ml Milk
  • 70g Grated parmesan
  • 2 cloves Garlic

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out chicken breast, pasta, mushroom, spinach, milk, parmesan and garlic. Wash, trim, and chop mushroom and garlic before heating the pan. Rinse spinach and pat the leaves dry. Measure milk and parmesan. Cut the chicken breast into 2-3 cm pieces.
  2. Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the penne for the time on the packet until just tender. Scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
  3. Cook the base Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add two tablespoons of water. Cook the chicken pieces with mushroom, spinach and garlic for 6-8 minutes, turning, until cooked through with no pink in the centre (75C on a food thermometer).
  4. Make the sauce Stir in milk and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Keep the heat moderate so the milk does not split.
  5. Combine Fold the penne through the sauce with 2-4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water.
  6. Finish Take the pan off the heat and stir through all the parmesan until melted.
  7. Serve Divide into bowls while it is still hot.
