Instructions

Step 1

- Spray a pan really well with cooking spray and add in your red onion along with a pinch of salt; cook for 5 minutes over a high heat until softened and brown at the edges, than add in your chicken breast. - Allow the chicken to cook for a couple of minutes until seared on all sides, then add in your garlic granules and dried basil; cook for a further couple of minutes. - Add in your stock, milk and pasta shells, stir well ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged then bring to a boil; turn down to a simmer and allow to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is tender. (If it looks a tad dry before the pasta is cooked, add a splash of water) - One the pasta is cooked turn the heat down and add in your peas; allow to cook for a minute or two then add your pesto, cream, mozzarella and Parmesan. Continue to cook for a few minutes until you have a smooth sauce and the peas are cooked. Serve up into 4 servings and enjoy 💗
