Calvin and I never like chicken breast at all. We both find it dried. But I would love to give it a try and start loving the chicken breast. And we both happy that we found one of the best recipe for it. If you a love Italian cuisine and wanted for a change from pasta. This one is for you.
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
5 tablespoons pesto sauce
¾ cup fresh ciabatta breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
finely grated rind of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
roasted vine tomatoes, to serve
Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 425F/220C. Cut a deep slash into each chicken breast to make a pocket.
2) Open out the chicken breasts and spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto into each pocket.
3) Fold the chicken flesh back over the pesto and place in an ovenproof dish.
4) Mix the remaining pesto with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and lemon rind.
5) Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with the oil.
6) Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
7) Serve the chicken hot with roasted vine tomatoes.
