Our Like Chicken Bites are just as versatile as a typical chicken. Try frying them to make them totally crispy and golden, or add them to a stew for a more tender bite. You can even fry them first, then mix with wet ingredients to soften for a texture that’s a little bit crispy and tender. Experiment, there are so many ways to cook our Bites!

- For the pesto:

Let's do this!
Let's do this!
- To make the pesto: put all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until fully combined. Use water to adjust the consistency until it’s smooth.
- Boil your pasta al dente according to the packet instructions, drain and retain some of the cooking water for later.
- Get another pot of heavily salted water to the boil. Blanche your asparagus for 1 minute in the boiling water, then drain and put the asparagus immediately into ice cold water.
- Now heat a little olive oil in a big pan, and fry your Like Chicken Bites until golden and crispy.
- Add your drained spaghetti, asparagus and pesto to the pan. Give it a good mix to heat it through. Season with extra salt and pepper, and add in a little of the cooking water from the pasta to make the sauce smooth. Serve while steaming hot.
