Pesto linguine with panko chicken
Ingredients:
280g linguine pasta
2 chicken breasts sliced
Parmesan cheese to garnish
Plain flour
1 beaten Egg
Panko breadcrumbs (japanese variant, can be bought in chinese supermarkets)
5 tbsp of pesto (homemade or store bought)
Method:
1. Get out three shallow bowls, one to put the beaten egg in, one with the flour and another with the panko breadcrumbs. Place the sliced chicken breast into a medium bowl and sprinkle enough flour to cover the chicken pieces (about 2 tbsp)
2. Cover the chicken breast into beaten egg and then cover in the panko breadcrumbs. Shallow fry the chicken breasts in a frying pan over a medium heat and until golden brown. Leave to set aside and blot any excess oil.
3. Meanwhile cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside. Stir in the homemade pesto serve with the chicken and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
For a healthier alternative you can bake the panko chicken in the oven at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. If you cannot find panko, breadcrumbs work just as well, but they are much lighter and airier in texture.
If you are not a fan of the pesto pasta, the panko chicken would make a good starter served with some mayonnaise or bbq sauce.
