• 1 Large brown onion, chopped finely

• 2 tbspn Macadamia Oil
• 1 Chicken double breast fillet, cut into strips or cubes

• 1/2 jar Basil & Macadamia Pesto

• 1/4 shaved parmesan cheese

How to create:

Heat half the oil in a frying pan and saute onion & garlic until soft. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat half the oil in the frying pan and cook chicken pieces until brown and still juicy ( this may be in two batches so as to not overcrowd the pan)

While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add spaghetti and cook until al dente.

Once the chicken is cooked, return onion and garlic to the pan with the chicken. Stir through half the pesto (1/4 jar).

Drain the pasta and in a large (warmed) serving bowl toss the pasta with the remaining pesto, chicken mixture and cherry tomatoes. Garnish with a generous sprinkling of shaved parmesan cheese.
