Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta
  1. In a small fry pan, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add ½ cup of pine nuts and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring, until lightly toasted.

  2. Add the toasted pine nuts, 3 cloves of garlic, a pinch of salt, 2 cups of basil leaves, ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil, and 60g of freshly grated Parmesan cheese to a blender. Process until a coarse paste forms.

  3. In the same fry pan, add a little more olive oil over medium heat. Cook 2 chopped chicken breast fillets for 5-7 minutes until almost cooked through.

  4. Add the pesto sauce to the chicken and stir in 2 tablespoons of cream.

  5. Toss the cooked and drained pasta with the pesto chicken mixture.

  6. Optionally, top with diced avocado.
