Method:

Place a pot of water (for the pasta) on to boil.

Flatten the chicken breasts by placing them (one at a time) under some clingfilm and bashing them with the back of a pan.

Pan-fry them in a little vegetable/canola oil – about 2 mins a side – and set aside. They should cook through on standing.

Place the pasta into the water with a good big pinch of salt.

Drain the pasta and stir through the pesto and a few chopped sundried tomatoes. Serve onto plates and top with the cooked chicken.
Garnish with fresh basil (and optional toasted pine nuts if you are feeling flush).
