A delicious variation of the famous Caprese salad, where chicken fillet is marinated in pesto and the salad dressing is also made from pesto.

Quantity: 4

500 g chicken fillets
1 cup (150 g) Gourmet Club basil and almond pesto
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoons black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ball (250 g) of mozzarella
250 g cherry tomatoes or other tomatoes of your choice
Fresh basil

Cut the chicken fillets into pieces. Grease the chicken pieces with half a cup of pesto (75 g), salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours until overnight. Put the chicken pieces on the sticks and cook on the grill. It takes about 15 minutes. Chicken marinated in pesto can also be fried in a pan or baked in the oven.
Slice the mozzarella and cut the tomatoes in half. If you use large tomatoes, slice them. Spread the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil leaves on a platter or plates.
