METHOD

Start by making your pesto by blitzing together in a blender. If you don't like your pesto too smooth, you can roughly chop the ingredients instead. Chop the chicken into bite size pieces and sauté in coconut oil for 5 minutes, before adding the diced courgette for a further 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and pesto mix to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften. Continue to gently cook until the chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, cook your pasta and steam your broccoli ready to add at the end. At the very last minute add the spinach to the chicken mix and cover with a lid for 30 seconds so it steams (cook as briefly as possible).
