Instructions

Prep

1 Prep

  • Separate the broccoli into florets.
  • Chop them into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves.
  • Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Boil pasta

2 Boil pasta

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  • Once boiling, add the pasta.
  • Cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the same pot of water.
  • Cook for 1-2 min further.
  • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to use in step 5.
  • Drain the pasta and broccoli.
  • Set aside.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve a portion of the cooked pasta and broccoli separately.
Fry

3 Fry

  • Heat a second large pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Once hot, add the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Fry for 5 min or until cooked through.
  • Add the dried thyme.
  • Fry for 1 min further.
  • Transfer the chicken onto a plate.
  • Reserve the pan.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve a portion of the cooked plain chicken on the side.
Make sauce

4 Make sauce

  • Return the pan to a medium heat.
  • Melt the butter, then add the plain flour, nutmeg and 0.5 stock cube and stir until a paste forms.
  • Slowly add the milk and measured water.
  • Mix well.
  • Cook the sauce for 2-3 min until thickened.
  • Return the chicken and stir in the green peas, grated mozzarella, grated parmesan, and half of the grated cheddar (reserve the rest for serving).
  • Stir until the cheese has melted.
Tip! Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot regularly so the cream sauce doesn't stick.
Finish

5 Finish

  • Transfer the cooked pasta and broccoli to the pan with the chopped parsley.
  • Mix well.
  • Add a good splash of the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Serve the Chicken and Green Veggie Penne Pasta in a Creamy Cheese Sauce.
  • Garnish with the remaining grated cheddar.
Tip! If cooking for kids, serve the chicken, cooked pasta, and vegetables separately. Serve the grated cheddar as 'sprinkles' to the side.
