purplecatFrom The Roasting Tin around the World by Rukmini Iyer
( Ingredients )
( Method )
Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I'm not sure I can really claim to have cooked this. I have a similar recipe in another cookbook called Roasted Ratatouille Chicken which is much like this (aubergine instead of fennel) but without the pesto. I know from long experience that the chicken breasts will dry out unless diced and cooked for a shorter time and wasn't convinced that the pesto would magically stop this happening. So I diced the chicken breasts, tossed them in the pesto and breadcrumb mixture and cooked on top of the veg for 20 minutes.
Oh, and I had no fennel or spinach.
Verdict
A nice variation on Roasted Ratatouille Chicken which I already have in regular rotation as a meal.
