Hasselback chicken is one of my personal favourites. It is such a quick and easy recipe to make, with no compromise to taste. Each bite treats you with layers of flavour. If you aren’t a fan of pesto you can top this with your preferred sauce.

This dish goes great with my ‘Faux’ Loaded Potato Skins or alternatively you could serve with a salad.
