Instructions
• Boil the kettle. Cut potato into large chunks. Finely chop garlic. Trim green beans. Halve any thicker stalks of baby broccoli lengthways. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside. • Return saucepan to medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat. • Return potato to the pan, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Lightly crush with a fork. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the potato looks dry!
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, green beans and baby broccoli, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden and tender, 5-6 minutes. • Season to taste and transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken breast strips until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and turn chicken to coat, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients) and basil pesto and simmer, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide Italian-style chicken, garlic crushed potatoes and bacon veggies between plates. • Spoon creamy pesto sauce over chicken to serve. Enjoy!
