Chicken mignon pasta tray bake recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Cook pasta in plenty of boiling water for 3 minutes less than the packet instructs.

Step 2

Combine butter with garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Trim any excess fat from the chicken, then lay on a board with the smooth side down. Season well with salt and pepper, then spread a teaspoon of garlic butter in the centre. Roll up to enclose the butter, then wrap a bacon rasher around each piece of chicken

Step 3

Strain pasta and place in a baking dish. Add half remaining butter to the pasta and toss to coat. Pour in chicken stock. Place bacon-wrapped chicken pieces on top of the pasta. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, quickly blanch beans and peas in boiling water for 2 minutes to par-cook. Strain.

Step 5

Remove foil from tray and distribute beans and peas around the chicken. Dot the tops of the chicken and vegetables with remaining garlic butter. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
