Ingredients
- 3 skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
- 5 large courgettes cut julienne style
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 400g broccoli, broken into florets and then thinly sliced
- 180g of green pesto (we use Seggiano which ingredients are olive oil, cashew nuts, fresh ligurian basil, sea salt, pine nuts)
- 40g toasted pine nuts
Method
- Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan with no oil. 2-3 minutes will be fine as you don’t want them to burn. Just until golden. Then remove from the pan and keep to one side.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the broccoli and chicken. Stir until fully covered in the olive oil and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the crushed garlic, stir through and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Add the pesto, half the pine nuts and courgette spaghetti and stir through thoroughly.
- Cook until courgette softens, cook it for too long and it will go soggy so keep an eye on it.
- Serve and add the remaining pine nuts on top.
