Method

1
Prep everything first: wash and trim the peas and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2
Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until a knife slides in easily, then halve.

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

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