About This Product
Our Pesto Chicken Pasta Salad is a vibrant, fresh dish made with tender chicken, perfectly cooked pasta, and a rich basil pesto that brings everything together. Prepared in-house at HQ Meats, this pasta salad is tossed with sun-dried tomatoes, sweet corn, crisp cucumber, and creamy bocconcini.
How to Reheat It
- Thaw in the refrigerator if frozen — never at room temperature.
- Cover and reheat in a 160°C/325°F oven until heated through (timing varies by size/portion), or reheat gently on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
- A microwave works for single portions — cover and stir partway through for even heating.
Safe Reheating Temperature

Chef's Tip
Reheat only the portion you plan to eat — repeated reheating increases food-safety risk and dries the dish out.
