Method
Step by step
Step 1Get prepped
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2Start cooking
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss it with 1 tablespoon of the pesto.
Step 3Build the flavour
Cook the chicken in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning until golden outside and piping hot in the centre, then cool for 5 minutes if packing lunch.
