Method
·
Preheat oven
to 170°C.
·
Wrap
chicken in foil and bake for around 45 minutes, until cooked all the
way through.
·
Add quartered
potatoes to a pan of salted boiling water. Boil for 12-15 minutes until cooked
but firm.
·
If making
Pesto from scratch: In a blender add pine nuts, basil, Parmesan and garlic
and blitz for around 10 seconds. Then, whilst still blitzing, slowly
add just oil reserved from the sundried tomatoes.
·
Drain the
potatoes in a colander and run cold water through to stop the cooking process.
Set aside in the fridge to cool.
·
Add the pesto
mixture to a large bowl and add the chopped sundried tomatoes,
olives, and spring onions. Loosen with additional sundried tomato oil
if required.
·
Combine pesto
mix and chilled potatoes and add mayonnaise and a grind of black
pepper & salt if needed (the Parmesan usually means salt
not needed)
·
Chop or pull cooked chicken and add to the pesto potato mix.
· Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce, top with a dollop of the Smokey Tomato & Garlic Chutney, crispy onions and balsamic glaze.
To pull the chicken, shred using two forks once tender. The slower the meat is cooked the easy this is to do.
