Equipment
- 1 chargrill pan
- 1 grill
Instructions
- Trim fillets and slice through lengthways. Brush the top of each with some olive oil.
- Preheat chargrill pan (or grill) to high heat. Cook chicken oiled sided down in a single layer for 5 minutes or until the chicken lifts easily away from the pan. My chargrill pan is smallish, so I cook in two batches.
- Turn chicken and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Let chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Serve each chicken breast topped with a teaspoon of pesto and a serve of greens or a salad.
Notes
Tip
Good quality chicken and pesto are paramount in this dish, clearly, because there is nothing else to disguise bad ingredients!
Variation
Serve with rice pilaf; substitute the parsley with basil to tie in with the pesto.
