Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the milk, stock and chicken in a large pan and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and transfer the chicken to a plate using a slotted spoon. Pour the poaching liquid into a jug.
- Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large heavy-based frying pan and cook the green veg with a splash of water until just tender. Remove the veg and set aside with the chicken.
- Heat the remaining 3 tbsp olive oil in a pan with the flour and stir until it smells toasty. Gradually add the warm chicken poaching liquid, whisking until smooth and incorporated. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, drain, then tip straight into the sauce along with half the blue cheese, the crème fraîche and mustard (if using). Stir well to coat the pasta with sauce.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and vegetables, then season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish, dot over the remaining blue cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.

BLEU CHEESE CHICKEN PASTA
If you don't like bleu cheese, this isn't a recipe for you. I, of course, do, and threw this together spur-of-the-moment one day when all I had in the kitchen was chicken, pasta, milk and bleu cheese. If you like a more liquid sauce, add more milk, if you like a creamier sauce, add less.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for plump, brightly colored vegetables, and avoid wilted or bruised produce.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or to the tooth. This means that it should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The liquid that you use to cook the pasta will add flavor to the dish. Use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even white wine.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: There are many different types of blue cheese available, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you like. You could also try using other types of cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
- Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent it from becoming soggy.
