Last night I decided to get a little creative. I'm always looking for delicious flavours to accompany healthy whole foods with the aim to reduce boredom and make eating healthy far more enjoyable. After a little browsing, I noticed how healthy pesto is for a paste that adds so much flavour to a meal. My diet for the day was in need of a little protein also so I thought why not add pesto to grilled chicken breast! It tasted delicious so I've decided to share the recipe below:
Pesto:
1 large bunch of basil
1 medium bunch of parsley
5 walnuts
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic

| In the process of making pesto |
Mix together in a food processor.
Then cut all of the fat off the chicken breasts and slice horizontally through the middle.
Stuff the chicken with the pesto paste and dab bits of goats cheese inside also. Add a dollop on top for extra flavour.
 |
| Chicken prepared and ready for the oven! |
Cook in a fan-forced oven on 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
Serve with vegetables of your choice!
