Ingredients
4 x skinless, boneless chicken breasts2 tbsp roasted red pepper pesto150g green beans (cut lengthways)250g puy lentils1 bunch of salad (spring) onions2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 x lemon (zest and juice only)1 tsp ground cumin
Gently flatten the chicken breasts then spread both sides with the pesto.
Cook on a hot griddle pan (a frying pan will suffice, or the barbecue in summer!) for around 8 minutes, turning once until well browned and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, place the beans in a pan and cover with boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes and drain. (At this point, if you want a cold salad to accompany your chicken, refresh the beans under cold water. If not, speed on with the next section so they don't lose their heat).
Pat the beans dry and place in a bowl with the lentils (drained) and sliced spring onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest and cumin. Pour over the beans and mix to cook.
Serve and enjoy!
