Sundried Tomato and Pesto Chicken
Toast in a dutch oven (or a huge frying pan) and set aside: 1/4 cup pine nutsMince and set aside: 4-6 cloves of garlic (I'm counting it as 4, because some were small, but it was technically 6)
Heat in the dutch oven: about 2 tablespoons olive oil
Cook the chicken and garlic in the olive oil, until the chicken seems cooked through.
Add: a handful of dry basil
- about a cup of sundried tomatoes (from a jar, soaked in olive oil-not dry ones)
- 1 cup chicken broth (reserve a few tablespoons)
- nearly 7 oz of prepared pesto
- a little salt (since I used home-made chicken broth)
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Add to the chicken, and cook until thickened.
Shortly before serving, add: 3/4 cup (or so) crumbled feta
Notes: You could toast the pine nuts in the oven, but that would make another dish. I also prefer to cut/mince everything else before I cup up meat, so I don't have to worry about the meat juice getting where it shouldn't be.
