No-Fuss Pesto Chicken

No-Fuss Pesto Chicken

with Potatoes and Green Salad

Pesto: you’ve had it on pasta or maybe as a dip. Let us introduce you to yet another way to use this Italian favorite. Here, we’re spreading it onto oven-roasted chicken breasts, using it as a glue to hold down a layer of panko breadcrumbs. That way, you get herby aromatics, meaty juices, and crispy golden goodness in every bite. Sounds like a crowd-pleaser to us.

Instructions

Preheat and Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to upper position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut potatoes into ½-inch cubes.

Roast Potatoes
2

Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Make Crust
3

Stir together panko, mozzarella, a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Roast Chicken
4

Place chicken on another, lightly oiled baking sheet. Brush 1 TBSP pesto onto top of one piece. Repeat with remaining chicken (you will have a little pesto left over). Press crust mixture into pesto to adhere. Roast in oven until chicken is no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes.

Toss Lemon
5

Halve lemon. In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, a squeeze or two of lemon, and 4 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Plate and Serve
6

Divide potatoes and chicken between plates. Serve with salad on the side.
