Cooking Steps

Cook mushrooms & chicken

1

• Boil the kettle. Thinly slice leek. Pick thyme leaves.
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• Heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms, thyme, and leek, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 6-8 minutes.
• Add garlic paste and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

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

Cook the pasta

2

• Add light cooking cream, the boiling water (see ingredients), stock concentrate and orecchiette. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Stir through Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Toss the salad

3

• To a medium bowl, add rocket leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil.
• Season to taste and toss to combine.

Finish & serve

4

• Divide one-pot garlicky mushroom, chicken and leek orecchiette between bowls.
• Top with rocket leaves to serve. Enjoy!
