Ingredients

  • 200g Chicken Breast
  • 270g pasta
  • 80g asparagus
  • 80g tenderstem broccoli
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • 10g butter
  • 5g olive oil
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the asparagus and tenderstem, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wholewheat pasta in salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes until al dente; save a splash of pasta water.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken breast, butterfly it so it cooks evenly, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the juices run clear (75°C in the thickest part).

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the asparagus and tenderstem for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wholewheat pasta first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the butter, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
