Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
  2. In a large bowl combine the pesto and olive oil.
  3. Add in the chicken breast and potatoes and toss together until they are completely coated in pesto.
  4. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken has cooked completely.
  6. Remove and serve.

Notes

  • If you have thick chicken breasts you can cut the potatoes in half
  • If you prefer whole baby potatoes, start the potatoes cooking earlier than the chicken, then add the chicken around 15 minutes in. The potatoes will take longer than the chicken to make
