Pesto Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Oven-roasted chicken breast topped with vibrant basil pesto and nutty parmesan, served alongside tender caramelized sweet potatoes and crisp carrots.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1 medium sweet potato
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.5 tbsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potato and carrots, then dice them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes and rounds to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potatoes and carrots on the baking sheet and toss them thoroughly with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the center of the oven for 15 minutes until they begin to soften and develop color.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then move the vegetables to the side and place the chicken and cherry tomatoes on the sheet.
Continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the tomatoes have burst.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately spread the basil pesto over the hot chicken breast, then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices before slicing and serving with the roasted vegetables.
