This is a cheaky de-construction of a classic chicken pesto.
Boil pasta until its el dante.
Strangely enough this dish works best from a cool frypan.
Place oil, onions, garlic and chicken into frypan and turn on heat to full.
When chicken has poched in the oil for approx 2mins, (should be able to tear chicken slices apart quite freely when cooked.)
Timing is of the essence as you do not want to burn the garlic and onions.
Quickly throw in the pistashios, torn basil,chilli (optional) and cooked pasta. Take off heat immediately and season with fresh cracked pepper, and 2 liberal pinches of salt.
Toss or stir (depending on your individual skill)and serve in bowls immediately. A handful of shaved parmesan atop. Enjoy!
