Cooking Steps

Prep chicken
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). 
  • Heat a large non-stick pan with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Golden Turmeric Spice Blend.
Cook chicken
2
  • When the pan is hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
Cook penne
3
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1 cup ( 2 cups) pasta water. Drain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Finish prep
4
  • While penne cooks, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/8-inch half-moons.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
Cook veggies and make curry sauce
5
  • Reheat the same pan from step 2 over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, peas, carrots, half the green onions and 1/4 cup water (use same for 4 servings). Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until carrots are tender-crisp and water has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining Golden Turmeric Spice Blend over top. Stir to coat. 
  • Add cream, curry paste, broth concentrate and half the reserved pasta water.  Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until simmering. 
Finish and serve
6
  • To the pot of penne, add curry sauce, spinach and any chicken resting juices from the baking sheet.
  • Reheat the pot to medium. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts and curry sauce coats pasta. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add additional reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.) 
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide penne between bowls.
  • Top penne with chicken. 
  • Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
