LET’S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

1. Turn the oven on to 180 degree celicus.  Take a baking dish that has a lid. If you don’t have one with a lid, aluminium foil can be used to cover the dish.

3. Place zucchini strips on top of the pesto chicken.

4. Pour over the pasta sauce and sprinkle on the cheese.  Cover and place in the oven for 35 minutes.

5. Check that the chicken is cooked by making sure it is firm when pushed with your finger. If it is still soft return for a further 5-10 minutes.

6. Serve with pasta or cheese raviolli.

Serves 4-5
