500g of Free Range Chicken - Cut into strips 1 inch x 2 inch
2 x Handfuls of fresh bread crumbs - Roughly tear stale bread into small crumbs/pieces
1 x Jar of sweet pickled gherkins - Finely sliced
2 x Courgettes - Sliced into ribbons
Plenty of cocktail sticks
Chicken Skewers Instructions -
Start by muddling all the pesto ingredients then use to cover the strips of chicken before adding the bread crumbs and cooking at 190 degrees Celsius for 25/30 mins (save two spoonfuls to make the pesto creme fraiche later).
Use a vegetable peeler to slice the courgette into ribbons. Slice the gherkins into bite size portions.
Once the pesto chicken is cooked, stir thoroughly so to re-coat the chicken with the pesto. Let it cool then combine the chicken with a courgette ribbon and gherkin on a cocktail stick. Repeat until all chicken is used.
For the Pesto Creme Fraiche just combine two spoonfuls of pesto with half a pot of creme fraiche.
Garnish with torn fresh basil & black pepper.
