Double Pesto-Crusted Chicken & Apple Salad

with Roast Potato Chunks

In this surprisingly simple recipe, creamy pesto adds a rich and herby flavour to the juicy chicken, while also helping the Parmesan crust to stick. Serve it all up with a couple of colourful sides to balance out the richness

Cooking Steps

Bake the chicken
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Place chicken breast on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season generously with salt. Turn to coat. Squeeze half the creamy pesto dressing onto the chicken and sprinkle over panko-Parmesan mixture, gently pressing so it sticks.
• Drizzle chicken with a little more olive oil. Bake until crumb is golden and chicken is cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 14-18 minutes. 


Little cooks: Help spoon the pesto and panko-Parmesan mixture on the chicken!

Roast the potato
2

• Meanwhile, cut potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Spread potato over a large microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave potatoes on high, 3 minutes.
• Drain any excess liquid, then place potatoes on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
• Spread out evenly, then roast until golden and tender, 10-15 minutes.

Make the salad
3

• Meanwhile, roughly chop apple (see ingredients). 
• In a large bowl, combine the honey with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil.
• Add apple and slaw mix, tossing to combine. Season to taste. 


Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!

Finish & serve
4

• Divide pesto-crusted chicken, roast potato chunks and apple salad between plates.
• Serve with remaining creamy pesto dressing. Enjoy!
