My niece is the biggest fan of Italian food and she enjoys a range of pasta dishes, Italian salads and pizza. I’ve enjoyed cooking them for her. Being that it was mid week and needed something quick, I made Italian seasoned chicken with pesto sauce.
The chicken was seasoned with butter, oregano, garlic and basil. Then it was roasted in the oven on a pyrex dish.
It turned out really delicious and the family including my niece really enjoyed it. I cannot wait to cook Tuscany chicken or prawns for my niece.
