I had this recipe, a photocopy taken from one of those small BBC Good Food, 101 Recipes, that my mother had. This was really nice and will make again soon. A nice alternative to plain chicken.
Ingredients
2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
50g cheddar cheese, grated
4 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tsp pesto sauce
green salad, to serve
Method
Preheat the grill to high. Sandwich the chicken between cling film or 2 plastic food bags and beat firmly with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan to flatten. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden.
While the chicken cooks, mix the cheese and tomatoes together. Take the chicken out of the pan and wipe out the with with kitchen paper. Return the chicken to the pan, spread each breast with a teaspoon of pesto, then pile the cheese and tomatoes on top.
Put under the hot grill for a minute or so (protect the handle with foil if you think it is likely to burn), until the cheese has melted. Serve with a green salad.
Serves 2 (easily doubled or halved)
