Method
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180C. In a large bowl place two thirds of the Pesto Genovese and add 1 tbs of oil and stir.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the Pesto mixture and stir well, ensuring the chicken is nicely coated with Pesto. Leave in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Gently sear the breast in a non stick pan skin first, cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden, then turn the breast and cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Once cooked allow the chicken to rest in a warm place, covered with foil for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Bring 2 litres of salted water to the boil. Once boiling add the potatoes and cook for 4 minutes, than add the green beans and cook for a further 4 minutes. Drain and toss in a large bowl with the left over Pesto Genovese and a little oil. Serve immediately.
