Method
1
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 150 ml cooking water, then drain.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pan; add garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds.
3
Add chicken pieces to the pan and fry for 8–10 minutes, until fully cooked throughout.
4
Turn off the heat, then stir through pesto, Parmesan, lemon juice and enough pasta water to coat.
5
Toss pasta with the sauce, adding reserved cooking water little by little to loosen. Taste, season and serve.
Food safety: ensure poultry is fully cooked, handle raw meat separately, and check packaging for allergens. Times are estimates and ovens vary.
