  1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large pan with a lid and stir fry the mushrooms over a medium heat for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Add the white wine and boil off the alcohol and reduce over a high heat for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the red pesto and the chopped chilli and stir to combine. Add the creme fraiche and stir until fully melted.
  4. Add the chicken to the pan and stir to ensure the meat is coated. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
  5. Cook for 20 - 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the chopped chives (if using) and serve with rice.

    I have a family of 7 and I am always looking for quick, easy and tasty meals to make to satisfy everyone. I did cook 2 batches - one with extra chilli for myself and hubby, and one without the chilli for the kids. I will definately do this again.
