Chicken Pesto Salad

This meal is so quick and easy to make and can be adapted in any number of ways!


Ingredients:
- 1 x chicken breast (if you are making this for more than one person, use one chicken breast per person)
- 1 x jar of green pesto
- 1 x 200g pot of creme fraiche
- Iceberg lettuce
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- Vinegar for dressing (optional)

Extras:
- 1 x medium mixing bowl
- 1 x frying pan 


Now, here's what do...

• Put a splash of oil into a frying pan and heat.
• While the pan is heating, cut the chicken breast into cubes.
• Cook the chicken for 10-15 mins, or until it is cooked through and browned on the outside.
• While the chicken is cooking, wash the lettuce and tomatoes (if using) and leave to drain.
• In a bowl, mix together one tablespoon of pesto and one tablespoon of creme fraiche.
• When your chicken is cooked, turn the heat off and leave it to cool for a minute or so.
• Put the lettuce in a bowl to create a bed for the chicken. Add tomatoes if desired.
• Pour the chicken onto the salad bed.
• Using a large spoon, put a dollop of the pesto and creme fraiche sauce over the chicken.
• For some added flavour, dress with vinegar.

For something a little different, try using a mixed salad bed or cooking salmon instead of chicken. 

Enjoy!
