Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain cooked potato, then return to the pan. Add the butter, milk and grated Parmesan cheese. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
• Meanwhile, slice carrot into thin sticks. Trim the green beans. Finely chop garlic. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, turning to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot and green beans, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken, in batches, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Return frying pan to medium heat. • Add light cooking cream (see ingredients), basil pesto and any chicken resting juices. Stir to combine, then simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Season to taste, then remove pan from heat.
• Divide Aussie chicken, Parmesan mash and garlic veggies between plates. • Spoon creamy pesto sauce over chicken and mash to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The Aussie spice blend and creamy pesto sauce were widely praised, with many calling the combination a standout. The Parmesan mash was a particular favourite, adding richness and depth to a comforting meal.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward weeknight meal, though some noted the multi-step cooktop process left veggies cold by the time the sauce was ready.
- Suggestions: Some found the pesto sauce overpowering and recommend using only one sachet, or adding it on the side so everyone can adjust to taste. A few noted the vegetables benefited from a little extra cooking time beyond what the recipe card suggests, and one reviewer found cutting the chicken into tenders helped it cook more evenly and quickly.
- Leftovers: At least one reviewer noted the meal stored well and made a satisfying lunch the next day, while another mentioned it freezes well.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt the potato and vegetable quantities were on the small side, particularly for four people, and suggested adding an extra potato or carrot to make the mash more generous.
