Lean Chicken & Herb Pesto

This is a great quick low carbohydrate lunch.

• Chicken Thigh fillets or Chicken breasts
• Fresh herbs from your garden
• I used a few basil leaves, sage, parsley & shallots
• Small handful of Almonds or pine nuts
• 3 x garlic cloves
• Juice of 1 x lemon
• 2 x small chilies
• Big handful of baby spinach leaves

Method:

• Blend herbs, almonds or other nuts with a splash of olive oil and lemon juice in a food processor
• Add Garlic & chili
• Add a fresh grind of pepper and salt
• (Add more cold water if its not moving in the processor)

Marinate for at least 5 mins.
Cook in a Teflon fry-pan with a small amount of olive oil
When Chicken is almost done, gently stir in spinach leaves to wilt lightly.

This has a herbaceous and lemony flavor, with a fresh clean taste.
