1 Prepare Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 250°C. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice mushrooms. Cut red onion in half (you will only use one half) and thinly slice. Cut baby bocconcini in half.
2 Prepare Pesto Chicken
Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Cut chicken breast into 1 cm thick pieces. In a bowl mix 1 tbsp of pesto with the chicken strips.
3 Cook the Chicken and Mushrooms
Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add chicken and cook for 2 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
