1️⃣ Prep
Rinse the cherry tomatoes. Wash, trim and roughly chop the spinach. Grate the Parmesan.

2️⃣ Fry chicken
Heat a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-6 min on either side until browned and cooked through (see pro tip). Transfer to a plate, set aside and cover to keep warm.

3️⃣ Make sauce

5️⃣ Finish sauce
After 8-10 min, add the spinach, pesto, cream and black pepper to the pan. Simmer for 3-4 min further until the sauce has thickened nicely. Fold in the grated Parmesan.

6️⃣ Serve
Return the chicken to the pan and cook fora final min to warm it through. Serve the chicken with the creamy pesto sauce and green beans to the side.
