This week I am sharing a hand me down recipe. This is a meal that my mum first cooked and one that we have adopted as a Family Favourite in our house. My mum makes hers using red pesto but we prefer the green pesto, but it can be changes depending on taste.
This recipe is a quick and easy way to give chicken breasts a delicious make over and transform it into something more special.
Here is this weeks Family Favourites recipe...
Pesto Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
8 rashers of bacon
1 large portabello mushroom, sliced
8 tsp green pesto
Method
1 - Pre heat the oven to 180C
2 - Slice the chicken breast three quarters of the way across to create a pocket
3 - Place 2 teaspoons of green pesto on to the bottom half of the chicken breast and spread evenly
4 - Arrange slices of mushrooms on top of the pesto
5 - Wrap 2 slices of bacon around the chicken breast and secure with a cocktail stick
6 - Place the chicken breast in the centre of the preheated oven for 20 - 30 minutes or until thoroughly cooked
Serve with potatoes, vegetables or salad.
The pesto in the centre adds a depth of flavour to the chicken and also keeps it lovely and moist. This recipe is a huge hit with everyone here, adults and children alike!
