Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. • Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack under browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 6-8 minutes. TIP: Feel free to make your basil mayo while the onions cook! • Stir in brown sugar and vinegar. Cook, stirring, until onion is jammy, 1-2 minutes more. • Remove from heat; transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½-inch thick. Season all over with half the Italian seasoning (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, halve and toast bread. • In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and basil paste.
• Spread burger buns with basil mayo. Top with herby chicken, caramelized onion, and tomatoes. • Serve with sweet potato wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the basil mayo and caramelized onions, though some found the flavors didn't quite mesh. Consider adding cheddar for extra oomph 🧀.
- Ease of prep: Quick and fun to make, but watch out for messy assembly. Pat chicken dry and go easy on the sauce to keep sandwiches intact.
- Suggestions: Try sprinkling cinnamon and brown sugar on sweet potatoes for addictive flavor. For more punch, add garlic to the mayo or sandwich.
- Portions: Some found the sweet potatoes too small for two servings. Consider adding an extra potato if you're big on sides.
Reviews from our home cooks
The recipe card didn't have an oven temperature and time amount to cook them for, for the sweet potato wedges. I was able to guess based on past times I've cooked potato wedges in the oven, but for a first time cook this may have been confusing.
The potatoes are amazing. Caramelized onions are amazing but I would recommend not putting a bunch of mayonnaise/pesto on the sandwich or else the chicken just slides out of the bun.
My family and I loved this! The basil mayo combo was delish with the caramelized onions!
Great flavors implemented in this recipe - the caramelized onions adding sweetness to the herby mayo!
It's been a week and I'm still dreaming of these sandwiches. Another crowd pleaser, the whole family loved these!
So good! I added 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and brown sugar to the sweet potatoes - they were addicting
Very delicious and easy! I added a few extra seasonings to the sweet potatoes for my liking but overall great.
Literally amazing. I added a slice of sharp cheddar and they were to die for!
Delicious, the pesto aioli sauce is a little thin but it tastes great
The chicken was delicious and the seasoning was spot on. The sweet potatoes were a little hard to cut and might have benefited if they had been sent pre cut and ready to season.
