Chicken Saltimbocca and Homemade Basil Pesto


Got this recipe from food magazine here and here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breast fillets, skinned
4 pancetta
16 large sage leaves (i don't use this)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large lemon
1 tbsp butter

Method:

1. Cut each chicken fillet in half horizontally to make 4 pieces. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken pieces between sheets of baking paper, one at a time, until about 5 cms thick.
2. Place chicken on a clean work surface. Top with 1 slice of pancetta and 2 sage leaves. Secure with toothpicks.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over moderately high heat. Cook chicken, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Cover loosely with foil; rest 5 minutes.
4. Finely grate zest from lemon. Juice lemon. Add juice, butter and zest to pan; bring to boil. Remove from heat. Arrange chicken on a serving platter. Serve with sauce.
