Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Happy Friday!

Have you ever wondered what to cook, without having lots of ingredients and time?
It often happens to me and I’m sure to most of you.
My strategy is to use whatever’s left in the fridge, plus lots of imagination and improvisation.

So the recipe I’m sharing today is one of these ‘clear your fridge’ recipes.:)
It was the first time I made it yesterday but it turned out really good so that’s why I’m posting it in my blog.

I had chicken, some old pesto, eggs(which I always have) and tinned tomatoes. 
And this is what happened – Pesto Chicken & Eggs Bake in Tomato Sauce. 
It was tasty, especially tasty with a good bread to dip in the tomato sauce.:)

Here’s what you need.
