Presto Pesto Panko Chicken

with Roasted 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 chicken breasts, using it as a glue to hold down a layer of panko breadcrumbs before they’re roasted in the oven. That way, you get herby aromatics, meaty juices, and crispy golden goodness in every bite.

Instructions

Prep
1

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

Roast Potatoes
2

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

Make Crust
3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine panko, mozzarella, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Roast Chicken
4

Place chicken on another, lightly oiled baking sheet. Brush the top of each piece with a thin layer of pesto (you may have some left over). Cover pesto-brushed sides with crust mixture, pressing to adhere. Roast on middle rack until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Toss Salad
5

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

Plate and Serve
6

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