Pesto & Mozzarella Chicken

Pesto & Mozzarella Chicken

Here's a great recipe if you are looking for a way to make a high protein low carb dinner that tastes amazing!

130g skinless chicken breast
20g pesto
20g sun-dried tomatoes
20g low fat mozzarella, grated
Few spinach leaves
100g baby new potatoes
40g green beans, trimmed
2 tsp olive oil
Few basil leaves

Method
Slice the chicken breast lengthways, but not all the way through, to create a large pocket. Spread the pesto inside then add the sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and spinach and close the chicken breast back up.

Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, adding the green beans for the last 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat and fry the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.

Serve the stuffed chicken with the potatoes and beans and scatter over some basil leaves to finish.

Tip
You may need to use a cocktail stick to hold the chicken breast together while cooking.
