Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, preferably non-stick. Add the chicken and fry without moving it until it takes on a bit of colour. Turn the chicken and cook on the other side. Continue cooking for 12-15 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Season all over with a little salt and pepper.
  2. Halve the tomatoes and throw them into the pan, stirring them around for a couple of minutes until they start to soften. Reduce the heat and stir in the pesto and crème fraîche until it makes a sauce. Scatter with a few basil leaves if you have them, then serve with rice and salad or mash and broccoli.

Making it veggie

Fry the tomatoes in the oil, add the pesto and creme fraiche and serve over griddled halloumi slices or spoon over some spinach and ricotta-stuffed ravioli.

    Great recipe. Didnt think there was enough sauce for 4 people. When i fry my chicken i would add some wine or vodka.

    Delicious and easy. The creme fraiche here in South Africa is very thick, so I added some veggie water to loosen it a bit.

    We adore this and have had multiple times - I make the pesto from the easy recipe on this site, which makes the dish so fresh and perfect. Mash and broccoli are the perfect sides.

    try using mascarpone cheese instead of creme fraiche, gives it a beautiful kind of tang.

    Made this last night. I'm not a big fan of the green pesto so I made it with red pepper pesto. So easy to make and it was fab. A great dinner party dish as it is made in no time. Served it with baby potatoes and some garlic bread

    We love this and make various meals with it :-) Some of the things we think that make it extra nice are: Using fresh pesto. Adding pine nuts. We also like to have it with turkey for a change from chicken and love it with brocolli and mashed potatoes. Mmmmm!
