Chicken Fillet “Capresse” Preparation Time: 10’ Cooking Time: 20’ Portions: 4 Ingredients 4 OliVchicken® Breast Fillets 1 tsp curry powder ½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp ground turmeric Salt, freshly ground pepper A little olive oil For the Pesto 2 cups tightly packed basil leaves 1 garlic clove 40g toasted pine nuts 60g grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese 100ml olive oil Salt, freshly ground pepper For serving 2 balls fresh mozzarella 2 tomatoes 10-12 baby spinach leaves Preparation We dry the chicken fillets well. In a bowl we mix the curry powder with the cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. We brush the fillets with a little olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture. We place the fillets in a baking dish lined with non-stick paper and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) on fan mode for 20 minutes. We turn the fillets and continue baking for another 6-8 minutes. We remove the fillets from the oven, cover them with non-stick paper, and let them cool. For the Pesto We place the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic and Parmesan cheese with a little salt, and freshly ground pepper in a blender. We start blending the ingredients while gradually adding the olive oil. We work the mixture until a nice paste is formed. For serving We cut the fillets, mozzarella, and tomatoes into equally thin slices. We arrange the slices alternately and circularly on a round plate, placing baby spinach leaves in between. Finally, we drizzle with basil pesto and serve immediately.
