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.

    Quick, easy and very tasty. Have also made it with Quorn fillets and used soured cream in the absence of creme fraiche.

    I suspect from all the rave reviews I was expecting too much from this dish. Was really nice and easy to make, but nothing special - maybe I did something wrong?. Not sure I'd bother again.

    Full of flavour, really great dish and so easy to make. We have it with pasta but it would go with so many carbs.

    A very easy, tasty, light & healthy midweek meal! Our daughters (3 & 6) loved it. I added white wine & garlic to it, plus red peppers & chestnut mushrooms to bulk it up. Served with rice, lovely! I used half fat creme fraiche, & kept the heat v low, but it still curdled. Didn't affect the flavour though.

    YUMMY!!! My husband is CONSTANTLY asking me to make this or he makes it as often as he can. Sometimes we add a little broccoli and we always eat it with rice. So easy, so fast, perfect for midweek meal.

    Yet again, Mary Codogan came up with the goods! Quick, simple, very tasty and impressed my dinner guests. Would definately do this recipe again - and for the same friends as they loved it so much! The only change I made was to add another teaspoon of Pesto and a 300g tub of Creme Fraiche so that we had lots of sauce with it as I served it with rice, mange tout and tender stem brocolli spears.

    Lovely! Even the kids ate it and they are notorious for turning their noses up at "new" meals!

    I can never make a dish for my family without some one not liking something - fussy teens! That is until I found this recipe. Everyone loves it...I made double the amount and it all went. Very easy and quick to make at the end of a long work day. Family favourite :)

    Warning! This does NOT serve four. It serves one. Unless your 'other half' is good at arm-wrestling, then it grudgingly serves 2. Dammit! ;-)
