Pesto Glazed Chicken Breast

Friday, 15th June 2102

A repeat of something from last year that we really liked. This time without the mushrooms.
I don't repeat very often, but I was feeling a bit under the weather, and this is simple and delicious.
Equally good as before, I thought, but my partner felt the chicken could have been more tender. Maybe just the quality of the meat.

Found this Pesto Glazed Chicken Breast with Pasta recipe on-line when looking for inspiration. This is probably the best thing I have cooked this year so far.
The freshly made pesto was fantastic, the chicken juicy and tender and the overall combination of flavours just perfect. I added a few sliced mushrooms to the pasta, because I had some, and they were good too. And it was easy! Even making the pesto was a doddle, as I used a hand-held blender and not a mortar and pestle. Sauteing the chicken quickly and then moving the whole pan to the oven for a few minutes seems to be a great way to get it cooked perfectly.  Highly recommended!
