Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. Thinly slice tomato into half-moons. • In a large bowl, combine 1/2 the tomato and 1/2 the salad leaves. Set aside.

Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large bowl, combine Italian herbs (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Add chicken, turning to coat.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.

TIP: Cook the chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded. The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve the bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire rack in the oven until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (for the salad) and olive oil to the salad. Toss to coat, then season to taste.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the creamy pesto sauce and caramelised onions, which perfectly complemented the herby chicken.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights or when kids are helping cook.
  • Suggestions: Some recommend adding cheese, bacon, or avocado for extra flavour. Crumbing the chicken could enhance texture.
  • Leftovers: Several found the portions generous, with some having enough for extra meals or snacks later.
  • Sides: While many enjoyed the sweet potato fries, some prefer regular chips or struggle to get them crispy.
