Cooking Steps

1
  • Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt.
  • Add penne to the boiling water and cook, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
  • Drain penne, then return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil and allow to cool slightly. 
2
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber.
  • In a small bowl, combine hot sauce, tomato relish and the mayonnaise. Set aside.
3
  • While the pasta is cooling, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
  • In the last minute, add paprika spice blend, turning to coat. Season with salt and pepper. 
    TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
4
  • Slice chicken.
  • In a large bowl, combine cooled penne, gourmet leaf mix, cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
  • Divide pasta salad between bowls.
  • Top with chicken and drizzle over Marie Rose dressing to serve. Enjoy!
