Basil Pesto Chicken Pasta
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 cups basil leaves i've upgraded from handfuls to cups!
- 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan freshly
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2/3 cup pinenuts
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken stock
- In a mini food processor, wizz together the basil, parmesan, garlic, oil and pinenuts.
- When everything is blended but still a little chunky, add the milk and blend for a teensy bit more till it becomes a nice thin paste.
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and fry in a little oil till sealed but not cooked through. Add the paste to the chicken coat well, cook for about a minute to cook off the raw garlic. Season with pepper (not salt as it's salty enough with the parmesan). Add the chicken stock and slowly simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Serve with a pasta of your choice and some garlic bread :)
