Chicken Breast With Pesto And Vegetables
People say that chicken breast is not a very exciting dish as it might be too dry or too bland. But i made this recipe many times and each time i managed to give plenty of flavours to the dish without making it unhealthy. It is a flexible recipe; if you dont have potatoes you can use pasta, as both are very good with chicken breast and pesto.
Steps
Cut the chicken breast to make a pocket.
Put inside salt , pepper , other herbs.
Pour the zest from the lemon , 2 slices of cheese , chopped garlic , olive oil , and basil pesto.
Close the pocket and wrap it in aluminium foil.
Cook it in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at 180c.
Serve with potatoes and vegetables.
For a healthier option , microwave the vegetables instead of roasting or boil them , to keep more vitamins inside.
