hey guys welcome back to another video I
0:02
am a huge fan of pesto but I just don't
0:05
have enough effect but today we'll be
0:07
making some pesto pasta with homemade
0:09
pesto good on the chickens and some
0:12
green peas what I love about this dish
0:14
is it is super easy and super to come
0:18
together and it should take you about 15
0:21
put this delicious meal can have it for
0:24
lunch or supper let's get started right
0:26
now so I have my chicken here in a
0:34
ziplock and we want we just want to
0:36
flatten it out of it make it thinner
0:39
it's gonna tenderize it and it's gonna
0:41
cook much faster and it's gonna be super
0:44
delicious so go ahead and use a meat
0:46
tenderizer since I don't have that I'm
0:49
gonna use a wooden rolling pin to do the
0:53
same job beat it out until it's about a
0:55
quarter of an inch in thickness so a
0:58
chicken is all ready now let's start
1:01
marinating our chicken in this bowl here
1:03
I'm gonna squeeze half a lemon add two
1:06
minced garlic cloves some salt pepper
1:11
chili flakes to your taste a nice pinch
1:15
of Italian seasoning mix and now add in
1:20
your so bar a half tablespoon of olive
1:23
oil now add in your chicken and toss it
1:26
in the marinade it's fully covered
1:29
direct just drench it you can quickly
1:35
let this marinate for 10 to 15 minutes
1:38
so season your pasta with a generous
1:42
amount of salt you can't season pasta
1:44
once it's cooked you want to using it
1:47
widely cooking it now let the pasta cook
1:49
for 7 to 8 minutes or until al dente so
1:52
heat up a grill pan on medium heat
1:55
and once it's hot add in your chicken
2:02
that's exactly what I wanna wear for
2:05
five to six minutes on each side or
2:08
until so pick out the basil leaves from
2:12
the stems if you have one so this should
2:14
amount to about a cup of tightly packed
2:17
I'd say the more the better out of this
2:19
basil into our food processor here and
2:22
then add your pine nuts this should be
2:25
about a tablespoon and season with some
2:27
salt now be careful with the salt
2:29
because we're gonna add lots of parmesan
2:31
and that is naturally very salty if we
2:33
don't add the parmesan in the blender
2:36
and we like to hand mixer because it's
2:39
gonna add much more texture it just
2:42
tastes better and also add in two cloves
2:45
of garlic so we just have the basil
2:46
garlic - and some salt in here I just
2:50
want to blitz it to chop up the leaves
2:52
and then we're gonna add in the olive
2:54
oil now if you were to waste the olive
2:56
oil with the basil you have to be really
2:59
careful because if you whiz it for too
3:01
long the oil the oil has tendency to
3:03
turn bitter we don't want that in our
3:06
so now drizzle in your olive oil so
3:08
after you've added the olive oil blitz
3:11
it again for a few seconds so using a
3:14
spatula just collect all the pesto
3:17
together let's transfer this to a bowl
3:20
now doesn't that look beautiful
3:22
so now sprinkle in the farm is off for
3:27
your pesto now this may seem like a lot
3:29
right now but you need this small of
3:33
cheese and we want a hand mix this I
3:36
don't know how it makes a difference but
3:40
it makes a difference mix it all
3:42
together the fastest coming up really
3:45
nice chicken is almost done grilling but
3:49
pastas ready and I'm excited so here's
3:54
all our pasta I'm gonna add all of our
3:58
pesto in here because I like my pasta
4:01

4:04
if I start the traditional thing but
4:07

4:10
looking too good oh not just add all
4:13

4:16
