Servings 2

Ingredients

1 shallot
1 chicken breast
3 tbsp roasted red pepper pesto
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp creme fraiche
Sizeable chunk of courgette
10 cherry tomatoes
A handful of spinach

Instructions

Lightly fry the onion and add the chicken (chopped into bitesize chunks). Fry until white on the outside.
Add the pesto, tomato purée, water and creme fraiche and heat until the sauce looks thick and creamy. Cook for 5 minutes
Add in the veg and cook for a further three minutes (or until the spinach has wilted down).
Serve with wholemeal pasta or courgetti, depending on how dire your day is!

Notes

Extra red pepper chunks added to the sauce with the other veg is also a winner!
Also, topping with cheese and baking in the oven for half an hour does this saucy number absolutely no harm!
