Hardest part is preparing the chicken. You basically have to skin the chicken the, flatten it down the breast bone and disconnect the legs. Then secure with wooden skewers. It's too hard to describe how to do it, so have a search online.

Blend all of the pesto ingredients together. Smear the chicken all over with the pesto. place on a try and chill for two hours.

Yo can cook it like this, uncovered, in a hot oven for 40mins. Or, as with the spirit of the summer, BBQ it! Will take 10-15mins each sine on a low-moderate heat. Be warned, it will make a mess of your BBQ!

It's worth it though, chicken is kept moist and tender by the pesto marinate. Plus it tastes amazing!

Serve with Paprika chips, salad and roasted cheery tomatoes.
