PESTO CHICKEN MMB
This is soooo easy and good. And I have a second meal to make with leftovers. I will post it next. This is sort of a no recipe - recipe. You can use more or less of anything, and I've even done this with some huge breasts... UUHHHHH chicken breasts that is! LOL

Steps:
- Before you get started with the chicken, get a small bowl and put about 1/3 cup of prepared pesto in it. This will make it easier for you to scoop it up. It will also prevent contamination from the raw chicken in the rest of your pesto. Get a cookie sheet with sides to roast the chicken.
- Wash and pat dry your chicken. Cut out the back bone. I use a pair of kitchen scissors to do this. I also save the organs and back bone to throw in the freezer for stock later.
- Lay out the chicken skin side up on the cookie sheet. Scoop up some of the pesto and give the old bird a rub down up under the skin.
- Wash hands and drizzle the skin with a bit of olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until juices run clear.
- Stay tuned for a yummy chicken salad recipe to make with leftovers. I will link them after I post both recipes. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/pesto-chicken-salad-mmb.html

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Mix together the pesto and mascarpone, then carefully spoon a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast and smooth over the opening to seal.
- Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.

PESTO CHICKEN
A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.

- Shred leftover pesto chicken. Depending on how much chicken there is and your preference will depend on how much of everything else you use.
- I had 1/2 a chicken left, so I used about 2T pesto, 1/2 an apple diced, a good dozen grapes cut in half, about 1/4 cup of pecans and 1 stalk of chopped celery. I mixed it with about 1/3 cup of mayonaise.
- This can be served on bread, crackers, a bed of lettuce, or eaten plain. Man oh man is it good!
