Preparation
1
Start the Prep

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Quarter the tomatoes, then halve widthways.

Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

2
Roast the Chicken

Place the chicken into a medium bowl with a drizzle of oil and half the honey (see pantry for amount). Mix in half the garlic and season with salt and pepper.

Lay the chicken onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season again.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

3
Cook the Garlic Rice

Meanwhile, pop a medium saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium-high heat.

Melt in the butter (see pantry for amount). Once hot, add the remaining garlic and stir-fry for 1 min. 

Stir in the rice, chicken stock paste and the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

4
Add the Veg

Once the chicken has roasted for 5-10 mins, add the pepper and tomatoes to the same baking tray.

Drizzle with oil and the remaining honey, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 

Return to the top shelf to roast for the remaining time, 15-18 mins.

5
Hey Pesto

When the chicken and veg are cooked, remove from the oven and add the fresh pesto to the tray.

Stir to coat everything evenly. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

6
Finish and Serve

Once the garlic rice is cooked, fluff it up using a fork, then share between your bowls.

Top with the pesto chicken and veg, spooning over all the juices from the tray.

Enjoy!
