Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek. Trim green beans and slice into thirds. Finely chop celery, parsley and garlic. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add garlic and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. Stir through parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Add chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. • Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add celery, leek and green beans, and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder and water, and bring to a simmer. Stir until slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add baby leaves, cooked chicken and basil pesto, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the soup looks too thick.
• While soup is simmering, cut wholemeal panini in half lengthways. • Set your air fryer to 200°C. • Place panini in air fryer basket and bake until heated through, 3-5 minutes. Brush garlic oil over the cut-side of ciabatta slices.
TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Place panini directly on wire racks in the oven and bake until heated through, 5-8 minutes. Brush garlic oil over the cut-side of ciabatta slices.
• Divide chicken and everything green soup between bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. • Serve with herby garlic panini. Enjoy!
