Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200c (390f). Place a large pan of water on high heat and bring to the boil, add a pinch of sea salt.

  2. 2

    Add in 750g of pasta and stir to stop it from sticking to the bottom. Cook for 1 minute less than the packet says. Remove and drain, keeping 50ml of pasta water for the pesto.

  3. 3

    Add chicken into a mixing bowl, 2 TSP (5g) Onion powder, 2 TSP (5g) Garlic powder, Sea salt to taste, pepper to taste and add 1 TBSP or 20ml of olive oil. Mix it with the chicken to coat all of it.

  4. 4

    Add a steel oven safe pan to high heat with 1 TBSP (20ml) of olive oil adding the chicken once hot. After 4 minutes they should get a nice sear, flip them and do the same again for 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add chicken to the preheated oven for 16 minutes. Rest in pan to the side.

  6. 6

    Optionally toast the pine nuts on broil setting until golden.

  7. 7

    Microplane 2-3 garlic cloves. Remove the leaves from both basil bunches, use 1 of the stems and chop it up.

  8. 8

    Add garlic, 30g (1.06oz) parmesan and toasted pine nuts to a blender on high speed. Scrape down the sides and do again. Add in basil, a pinch of sea salt/ pepper and 120ml of extra virgin olive oil. Blend until fully mixed. Place in the fridge.

  9. 9

    Slice up chicken and tear it apart. Add it back into the pan and mix it to pick up the juices.

  10. 10

    Either in the pan or a mixing bowl, add the pasta, chicken and then pesto, mixing it all through. If wanted some pasta water can be added to make it a little smoother/ creamier.
