Ingredients

  • 200g Chicken Breast
  • 340g new potatoes
  • 80g peas
  • 80g spinach
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 15g pesto
  • 15g almonds
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peas and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until a knife slides in easily, then halve.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken breast, butterfly it so it cooks evenly, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the juices run clear (75°C in the thickest part).

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peas and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: new potatoes first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the pesto, almonds for extra energy-dense calories.
