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.

    I wasn't sure about this recipe when I started adding the pesto as it seemed to be a lot for the amount of creme fraiche. However, my two dinner guests, acting as guinea pigs, both said they would love to lick their plates! I served it with Jersey Royals, broccoli and baby carrots. Delicious and will definitely make it again.

    Good taste, but would recommend flatten the chicken to reduce the cooking time.
