How to make it

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tiny splash of olive oil if you like. Season your chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and cook for 2 minutes until they just begin to soften.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the plain Greek yogurt and basil pesto until everything is beautifully combined and warm through. Do not boil.

  5. 5

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Gently toss to coat it in the creamy pesto sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your speedy and satisfying meal.
