Chicken and Asparagus

Roasted Yellow Pepper and Tomato Basil Relish

Pesto Crème

Method

Chicken and Asparagus

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest.

  3. 3

    Cook the Asparagus

    While the chicken is resting, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the asparagus for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender.

Roasted Yellow Pepper and Tomato Basil Relish

  1. 4

    Roast the Yellow Pepper

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the whole yellow bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let it steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skin and dice.

  2. 5

    Make the Relish

    In a bowl, combine the diced roasted yellow pepper, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Pesto Crème

  1. 6

    Prepare the Pesto Crème

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and pesto. Stir continuously until heated through, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
