Ingredients

613g pack Asda Butcher's Selection Chicken Breast Fillets

130g pot Asda Basil Pesto (chilled), or use pesto from a jar

75g fresh breadcrumbs

500g pack Asda Mediterranean Vegetables with Cherry Tomatoes (frozen), cooked as packed instructions, and new potatoes with parsley, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast in half through the middle to make 2 thinner pieces. Put on the baking tray.
2
Spread the pesto thickly on the chicken fillets and sprinkle over the breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly.
3
Bake for 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through, so the juices run clear.
4
Serve the chicken with the Mediterranean vegetables and new potatoes.
