Instructions

Start mash

1 Start mash

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  • Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add them to the pot of salted boiling water and cook over a medium-high heat for 15 min or until soft.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Meanwhile, separate the broccoli into small florets and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the panko, green pesto, a drizzle of olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste - this is your pesto crumb.
Prep chicken

3 Prep chicken

  • Slice each chicken breast in half as if you were cutting a burger bun, making sure not to cut through entirely until the chicken breast is one larger and thinner piece.
  • Place the chicken onto one side of a baking tray and evenly top with the pesto crumb.
Bake

4 Bake

  • Add the broccoli alongside the chicken.
  • Drizzle the broccoli with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 min or until the chicken is cooked through, the crumb is golden brown, and the broccoli is tender.
Tip! To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a knife into the meat - if the juices run clear, it's ready.
Finish mash

5 Finish mash

  • Meanwhile, once soft, drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot.
  • Add the butter and mash until smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Serve the Pesto Crusted Chicken with Roasted Broccoli and Sweet Potato Mash.
