Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice capsicum into strips. Thinly slice zucchini into strips lengthways. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs, 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 thigh, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's 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. Enjoy!
