Pesto is the secret ingredient in this recipe! It not only adds delicious flavor to the chicken, but also acts as the glue for a crunchy panko coating. Crispy roasted potatoes and a light green salad complete this easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • Chicken

  • 12 oz of chicken breasts

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs

  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 3T pesto (or more…I like more)

  • 5t olive oil

  • Potatoes

  • 12 oz potatoes cut into bite size pieces

  • Olive oil

  • Garlic and seasonings

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
  • Toss potatoes on baking sheet with drizzled olive oil and spices (I use garlic and salt and pepper and a bit of cayenne). Bake for 20-25 min, tossing once half way through.
  • Prep the chicken (trim off fat and tendons).
  • n a small bowl combine cheese and panko, pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil
  • I put the chicken on some foil so I can add it to the potato pan. Put 1.5T of pesto on each chicken breast and then top with cheese/breadcrumb mix.
  • Add to the potato pan and bake both for 20 more min.
