Olive oil
Potato
2
Panko breadcrumbs
0.5 packet
Chicken breast
1 packet
Basil pesto
1 sachet
Tomato
1
Carrot
0.5
Honey
0.5 tsp
Mixed salad leaves
1 bag
Grated Parmesan cheese
1 packet
Vinegar
0.5 tbs
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into bite-sized chunks. Place on a lined oven tray. Add a drizzle of olive oil and season. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
While the potato is roasting, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Place the chicken breast on a second oven tray lined with baking paper. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Using a spoon, spread the top of each chicken breast with the basil pesto, then top the chicken with the panko-Parmesan mixture, gently pressing so it sticks. Bake until the crumb is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 14-18 minutes. TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the tomato into half-moons. Grate the carrot (see ingredients). In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the tomato, carrot and mixed salad leaves. Season and toss to combine.
Divide the pesto-crusted chicken, roasted potato and garden salad between plates.
