I want to share with you a recipe for an appetizer, which has saved me more than once in situations when you need to quickly cook something tasty or when you just want to diversify your menu and not spend the evening at the stove.

In general, I do not like dishes in which meat is combined with sweet ingredients, but chicken with dried apricots and pesto sauce is an exception.

Ingredients

• skinless chicken breast - 1 pc.;
• dried apricots - 75 g;
• parsley - 1 bunch;
• basil - 1 bunch;
• parmesan - 30 g;
• garlic - 2 cloves;
• olive oil - 100 ml;
• salt;
• pepper.

Preparation

Cut the chicken breast into thin layers and gently beat it off (you should get very thin pieces). Salt and pepper the meat.

Cooking pesto sauce. There are a great many variations of the sauce, but I prefer to add fresh parsley to it.

Chop parsley, basil, parmesan and garlic and mix with olive oil. Put small pieces of chicken together to make a wide layer, and apply sauce on it.

After that, lay out the chopped dried apricots.

We roll the meat with dried apricots and sauce into a roll.

We wrap each roll with foil and put in the oven for 15–20 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

Cut the finished rolls into small pieces and serve hot or cold.

A great option for a quick and original snack, for example, when unexpected guests arrive. The roll can be put on pieces of baguette - you get delicious sandwiches.

Bon Appetit.:-)
