  • to taste)

Preparation

  • 1

    Cut the chicken thigh fillet into equal-sized pieces. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  • 2

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the pine nuts for a few minutes until golden brown. Remove them from the pan immediately and set aside.

  • 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces for approximately six minutes until browned and cooked through on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm temporarily.

  • 4

    Sauté the zucchini noodles in the remaining cooking fat. Stir-fry the vegetables for two to three minutes over high heat so they become warm but still retain a slight bite.

  • 5

    Lower the heat and add the cooked chicken pieces along with the green pesto to the zucchini noodles. Toss everything together and warm through for one more minute.

  • 6

    Divide the dish among plates and scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top. Serve immediately.
