• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place chicken breast and red pesto in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side. • Transfer chicken to a lined oven tray, pouring over any extra pesto from the pan. Bake chicken until cooked through, 8-12 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
