After a busy day at work, I'm sure, like me, many of you are looking for something easy and delicious to cook when you get home. This dish is really tasty and has the benefit of being healthy too.

One Pot Chicken Pasta 

 Ingredients 

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 

1 large leek, trimmed, thinly sliced 

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 

2 tsp finely grated lemon rind 

175g wholemeal penne pasta 

250g cherry tomatoes, halved 

200g broccoli, cut into small florets 

250g shredded cooked skinless chicken breast 

100g sliced kale 

1 thinly sliced courgette 

20g finely grated parmesan 

Method 

1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook the leek, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and lemon rind. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the pasta and 500ml (2 cups) water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. 

2. Add tomato and broccoli to the pan. Stir to combine then cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated, pasta is al dente and broccoli is just tender. Stir through chicken, kale and zucchini until heated through and kale is wilted. 

3. Serve pasta sprinkled with parmesan.
