Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Mix together the pesto and mascarpone, then carefully spoon a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast and smooth over the opening to seal.
- Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.

- Add the first nine ingredients (basil, water, Parmesan, almonds, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper) to a food processor. Pulse until combined to make a home made skinny pesto.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner, chicken cutlet style pieces. These will cook more evenly. Marinate the chicken in the pesto mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade letting the excess drip off. If using cherry tomatoes, spray them with cooking spray or toss in a touch of olive oil.
- To grill: Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Cook the tomatoes on a piece of foil (or in a grill basket), shaking them after five minutes. They will take 8-10 minutes to cook.
