Pesto Chicken Rigatoni
Diced chicken breast coated in a moist pesto rub of basil, garlic purée, parmesan and pine nuts, roasted until caramelised and herb-crusted. Finished in a light Yoghurt Pesto Sauce - natural yoghurt blended with basil, parmesan and garlic - that coats the chicken in a creamy, herb-forward glaze. Served with Rigatoni (Standard & Large) or a reduced rigatoni portion (Lean), and a Courgette and Pea Sauté.

Tell me when Pesto Chicken Rigatoni changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
