Pesto and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

25 mins

Ingredients

serving

1 serving
  • 130g skinless chicken breast
  • 20g light pesto
  • 20g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 20g mozzarella, grated
  • 10g spinach
  • 100g new potatoes
  • 40g green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ small bunch basil, leaves torn

Method

Slice the chicken breast lengthways, but not all the way through, so it opens up like a book. Spread the pesto over the middle then add the tomatoes, mozzarella and spinach before closing the chicken breast back up.

Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted, boiling water for 8-10 minutes, adding in the green beans in for the last 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Fry the chicken for around 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Serve with the potatoes, beans and a scattering of basil leaves.

Tips

You may need to use a cocktail stick to hold the chicken breast together whilst cooking.
