Chicken and Basil Pesto Linguine

Steps

1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Cook pasta Pour boiling water into a medium pot, add a pinch of salt, and bring back to boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook for about 12 minutes, until just tender. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain and return pasta to pot with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Prep and cook chicken Pat chicken dry and toss with chicken spice mix and a drizzle of oil and season with salt. Heat a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 3-5 minutes each side, until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside to rest.
3. Prep and cook veggies Cut broccoli into small florets and dice courgette 1cm. Heat same pan on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add a knob of butter, broccoli, courgette and garlic paste to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, until tender. Remove pan from heat, add cooked pasta, first measure of basil pesto and ½ cup pasta water to the pan. Toss to combine and season.
4. Prep tomato salad Slice tomatoes 1cm and place on a plate. Crumble over feta and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season lightly. Thinly slice chicken.
