Chicken Again?

Yes. Chicken again.

A totally different take though. This recipe is sort of an Italian riff on an Asian stir-fry, complete with a garlicky good rice pilaf on the side.

Lovingly prepared for a lovely colleague for dining during a working lunch, I decided to put some homemade pesto to use alongside grape tomatoes, zucchini, a few precious slivers of pancetta and two plump chicken breasts. I tossed them all together stoveside with some cream, butter and the previously noted pesto. Voila! Lunch -- as pictured above.

My work pal was duly impressed with my kitchen performance. Even more so once he took a bite.

The new "Next Food Network Star" can eat their heart out. I'm eating chicken.
