This was an interesting dish, a new idea for us. I've been looking for an excuse to use roasted red peppers, and this recipe was a good one. And making my own pesto sauce was a very pleasant experience. From Bottom Line magazine.
Ingredients
- Fresh pesto sauce (or may use prepared): shopping list
- 1/4 tsp minced garlic shopping list
- 3 T fresh basil leaves shopping list
- 1 tsp pine nuts shopping list
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil shopping list
- 1/2 Tablespoon grated Parmesan shopping list
- chicken Cakes: shopping list
- 1 lb chicken breast or 4 Cups shopping list

- 3/4 C drained roasted red pepper (it takes more than you think) shopping list
- 1 C breadcrumbs shopping list
- 4 T pesto sauce shopping list
- 4 T mayonnaise shopping list
- 4 T honey mustard or honey Dijon shopping list
- 3 egg whites or 1-2 eggs shopping list
How to make it
- If desired, make pesto sauce (mince and mash ingredients) and set aside.

- Chop onion; saute in olive oil, if desired.
- Chop red pepper.
- Chop chicken and add to vegetables, along with 1/2 C breadcrumbs, pesto sauce, 1 T mayonnaise and 1/2 T honey mustard.

- Place each cake in remaining breadcrumbs; turn to coat other side.
