Utensils
Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, 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 red pesto 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.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and cucumber. • In a large bowl, combine the honey with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. • Add tomato, cucumber and red butter lettuce, tossing to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide red pesto-crusted chicken, potatoes and salad between plates. Enjoy!
