PESTO CHICKEN RECIPE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:
- Pat chicken breast cutlets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. (Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be used, simply cut them in half horizontally so that you have thinner pieces. Watch the video to see how I do this).
- In large cast iron skillet, heat a little bit of extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tbsp) until shimmering but not smoking in a cast iron skillet. Add chicken to the heated skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning over once. Remove from the skillet and set aside for now.
- If needed, add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil to the skillet. Add zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and grape tomatoes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes or so, tossing occasionally, until the veggies have softened.
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together the basil pesto and cream.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet. Pour the pesto and cream mixture in. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for a minute or so.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, add lemon juice and lemon zest. Add pine nuts and fresh basil for garnish. Serve hot with your favorite grain or plain orzo pasta.

PESTO PASTA WITH CHICKEN
Easy and delicious pasta with chicken. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Mix together the pesto and mascarpone, then carefully spoon a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast and smooth over the opening to seal.
- Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The avocados should be slightly soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and parsley, add a burst of flavor to the pesto. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
- Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the pesto. You can toast the pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice you add to the pesto is a matter of personal preference. Taste the pesto and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the easiest way to make pesto. You can also make pesto by hand, but it will take a little longer.
Conclusion:
Chicken Pesto Clubs are a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
