One Pan Pesto Chicken and Vegetables
One Pan Pesto Chicken and Vegetables combines bite-sized chicken breast pieces with a colorful mix of bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and baby broccoli, all coated in vibrant pesto. Baking everything together on a sheet pan allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to roast tenderly alongside the chicken. Optionally topped with melted mozzarella, this dish offers a flavorful and relatively hands-off meal suitable for an easy dinner with minimal cleanup.
