PERFECT PASTA
Boil the kettle. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
SUNNY SEEDS
Submerge the Peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
PEA PESTO
Place the plumped Peas, ½ the toasted sunflower seeds, the grated garlic (to taste), the lemon juice, and a generous drizzle of olive oil in a blender. Pulse until the desired consistency. Loosen with water or more olive oil if necessary. Toss through the cooked pasta. Season to taste.
BUTTERY Chicken
Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken breast dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before shredding and seasoning. Toss through the pea pesto pasta.
SO DONEZO!
Dish up the Chicken & pea pesto pasta. Crumble over the drained feta. Sprinkle over the remaining sunflower seeds and garnish with the sliced chilli (to taste). Finish it off with a crack of black pepper. Dig in, Chef!
