Method

Chop the garlic and sauté in olive oil, then add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper, remove off the heat and mix with the ricotta, egg and nutmeg. Heat a pan with a drop of olive oil and seal the chicken breasts on both sides, keep on medium heat and continue until almost cooked through. Using a sharp knife, cut open the breast lengthwise and fill with the ricotta stuffing. Finish off cooking in the oven, remove and then allow to rest. In a processor, blend together the basil, almonds, parmesan, chili and then pour in the olive oil to form a pesto. Mix with the cooked quinoa and serve with the stuffed chicken.
