• Boil the kettle. Fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and place over high heat. To the pan, add a pinch of salt. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain and return to the saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients). Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, onion and diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until browned, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, add tomato paste, garlic & herb seasoning and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in chicken-style stock powder, light cooking cream, Parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Add orecchiette and half the baby spinach leaves, gently stir to combine and cook until wilted slightly.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice apple into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine apple, the remaining spinach, flaked almonds, balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide saucy tomato chicken and bacon orecchiette between bowls. • Top with garlic pangrattato. • Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!
