With plenty of supermarket shortcuts, this dinner is as easy as it is tasty!

Ingredients

300g broccoli, trimmed, cut into florets

1 zucchini (200g), trimmed, cut into 1cm slices

800g chicken breast fillets, trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

500g jar Leggo’s Pasta Bake with Three Cheese Sauce

190g jar pesto

90g packet olive oil & sea salt croutons

1/3 cup grated parmesan

Method

  1. Boil broccoli and zucchini, uncovered, in a large saucepan of water for about 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain. 

  2. Meanwhile, toss chicken with oil and garlic in a large bowl. 

  3. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add chicken in two batches. Cook, stirring for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Return all chicken to pan with sauce, pesto and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until heated through. 

  4. Transfer to an ovenproof dish (10-cup capacity). Sprinkle with croutons and parmesan. 

  5. Cook in a hot oven (200C) for about 20 minutes, or until golden and chicken is cooked. Remove from oven. Serve.

     

    TIP! We used a jar of Barilla Pesto Alla Genovese, however any shelf-stable pesto is suitable. The packaged croutons in this recipe are available from Woolworths supermarkets.
