Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Half fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook penne over high heat until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne, then return to saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and dill.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook tomato, untill slightly blistered, 1-2 minutes.
- Add chicken breast strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in light cooking cream, stock concentrate and the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then stir through cooked penne, dill and baby spinach leaves, until wilted and combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide velvetty chicken tenders and dill penne between bowls.
- Sprinkle over Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
