Notes
Chicken
I used Mini Fillets here as they are an easy size to cook and coat in the sauce (and fit in the pan!) but any cut of chicken would work, you'll just need to adjust the cooking time accordingly and of course, always check that the meat is cooked before serving. Pesto
You can use your favourite green pesto jar of choice, or you can make your own homemade pesto. You can get gluten free pesto too, if that's for you.
