Chicken Pasta Bake

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 300g penne pasta
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 300ml light thickened cream
  • 310g can corn kernels, drained
  • 2/3 cup (80g) frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup (40g) grated parmesan
  • 1/2 barbecue chicken, meat removed and roughly chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup (85g) low-fat tasty cheese

Method

  1. Cook the penne in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to packet instructions or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until softened (do not allow to brown). Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Stir through the corn, peas, parmesan and chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then add the penne. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Preheat an oven grill on medium heat. Transfer the chicken mixture into a 4-cup capacity baking dish. Scatter with the cheese and place under preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden on top. To serve, sprinkle with chopped flat-leaf parsley, if desired.
