  1. FETA BAKE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In an ovenproof dish, toss the baby tomatoes, the diced onion, the grated garlic, the chilli flakes (to taste), seasoning and drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer and place the drained feta in the center. Bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, until the tomatoes have slightly burst and the feta is golden.

  2. PERFECT PENNE

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. When the water is boiling, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. TOASTY SEEDS

    Place the seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally.

  4. CHICKEN TIME

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken chunks for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the heat on completion, drain on some paper towel and allow to rest for 3 minutes.

  5. A WINNING COMBINATION

    Once the feta and tomatoes are done, mash with a fork or potato masher and mix until combined. Add to the pot with the pasta along with the cooked chicken, and mix until fully combined. Add the reserved pasta water if you would like a saucier consistency. Season to taste. In a salad bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves, the diced cucumber and the toasted seeds with a drizzle of oil, and some seasoning.
