Ingredients

300g Asda Penne Pasta

240g pack Grower's Selection Green Beans, trimmed and halved

200g Asda 50% Less Fat Light Original Soft Cheese

1tbsp semi-skimmed milk

2tsp rapeseed oil

2 x large chicken breasts, diced

250g Grower's Selection Chestnut Mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered, depending on size

1 x small red onion, diced

25g parmesan, grated

90g bag Asda Mixed Baby Leaf Salad

Method

1
Ask an adult to bring a pan of water to the boil, then add the pasta and simmer for 10-12 mins until almost tender. Add the green beans for the final 4 mins of the pasta cooking time. Drain and return to the pan.
2
Meanwhile, mix the soft cheese with the milk to loosen it, then set aside.
3
Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium setting. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring, until browned all over. Then add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 mins, stirring often, until browned.
4
Reduce the heat, add the red onion and cook for 4 mins, stirring often, until softened but not browned.
5
Add the chicken mixture and the soft cheese and heat through, stirring. Season with black pepper, scatter over the Parmesan and serve with the salad.
