1 head

1 clove
garlic
1 packet
chicken breast
1 sachet
Nan's Special Seasoning
½ bottle
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
basil pesto

2.5 tbs

Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return the potato to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and the salt and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
While the potato is cooking, thinly slice the carrot into batons. Cut the broccoli into small florets, then roughly chop the stalk. Finely chop the garlic. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the carrot and broccoli with a splash of water until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken, in batches, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat. Add the longlife cream (see ingredients), basil pesto and any chicken resting juices. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
Divide the mash, chicken and garlicky veggies between plates. Spoon over the creamy pesto sauce.
