Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
• Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Drain penne, then return to saucepan.


TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling! 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, cut tomato into thin wedges.
• Drain sweetcorn.
• Slice cucumber into thin rounds.
• In a large bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken tenderloins, turning to coat.


Little cooks: Help wash the veggies!

Cook the chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken tenderloins until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.


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

Char the corn
4

• Wipe out frying pan and return to high heat.
• Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. 
• Add the butter and toss until melted. Transfer to a bowl. 

Bring it all together
5
