Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice capsicum into strips. Thinly slice zucchini into strips lengthways. • In a large bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken tenderloins, turning to coat.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook fusilli in boiling water over high heat until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Drain penne, then return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook zucchini, turning until tender, 2-4 minutes each side. Season and transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook capsicum, until tender and slightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Season and transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken tenderloins until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• To saucepan with pasta, add basil pesto, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, tossing to coat. Season to taste.
• Bring everything to the table. • Build your own plate with seared chicken, pesto fusilli, zucchini ribbons, charred capsicum, Parmesan cheese and flaked almonds. • If you've selected an add on bundle, serve with mustardy apple and cos walnut salad. If you've added an add on modularity, serve with toasted ciabatta. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Some found the Aussie spice blend and pesto combination didn't quite work. A garlic and herb seasoning might better complement the pesto pasta.
- Ease of prep: Customers found this recipe super easy to cook, with one calling it "very yummy".
- Portions: Several noted uneven ratios, with too much pasta compared to chicken and vegetables, making the dish pasta-heavy and bland.
- Suggestions: Consider increasing the amount of chicken and vegetables while reducing pasta for better balance. A heavier sauce could improve the pasta-heavy texture.
