Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Prepare all ingredients as indicated above.

  2. 2

    Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the rice and boil gently for 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain and keep warm in a colander over a saucepan of hot water.

  3. 3

    Heat a few glugs of olive oil in a pan on medium to high heat. Season the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in the hot oil and cook for about 8 minutes each side, turning only once. Add the tomatoes and allow to cook until they start to soften - 3 or 4 minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the pesto and sour cream until heated through - about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

  4. 4

    Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli and boil gently for 2 to 3 minutes until cooked but still slightly crunchy. Drain and keep warm.

  5. 5

    To serve, divide the rice between the plates and serve the chicken and a generous helping of sauce on top. Scatter with fresh basil. Serve the broccoli on the side.
