Creamy Chicken Pesto Parmesan (15 Minute Meal)

4.0

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large chicken breasts (sliced in 2 across the width (to make 4 thinner slices of chicken))

2 cloves garlic (crushed or sliced (optional, as there is already garlic in the pesto))

4 ounces mushrooms (chopped into small pieces)

½ cup chicken stock

¼ cup basil pesto ((homemade or good quality pre-made))

½ cup evaporated milk ((or double / heavy cream - evaporated milk is lighter))

⅓ cup grated parmesan (plus extra for grating over at the end)

Black pepper ((to taste))

Fresh basil leaves (to serve (optional - I often save a few from making the pesto))

Heat up the olive oil in a medium cast iron pan or frying pan. Pan fry the chicken for a few minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm by covering with foil.
Without cleaning the pan, add the garlic and mushrooms and pan fry for about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, pesto and cream to the pan and let bubble for a minute or two until slightly reduced. Then stir in the parmesan.
Add the chicken and any juices back into the pan, spooning over the sauce. Serve over pasta, mashed or roast potatoes, or rice, or by itself with fresh or toasted bread (your choice!). Scatter over extra parmesan and a few basil leaves to serve, if you like.
