What is more satisfying than a complete one-pan meal that you can prepare, stick in the oven, with very little faff or fuss required? This Pesto Chicken One Pan Bake is a big favourite in my house and I just love how easy it is to make. Here we have chicken breast pieces marinated in delicious green pesto, alongside crispy pesto roast potatoes, vine tomatoes and green beans. One pan bakes… I salute you! If pesto pasta goes down in your house as well as it always has in mine, then here is another string to your bow, because pesto doesn’t only go in pasta! The delicious, rich basil sauce goes so well with meat and vegetables too, and what better way to prepare it than throwing it all in one pan?!
✅ Pile up the vegetables ✅ Put in the oven and let it do its thing ✅ Hardly any washing up! This recipe is a great healty option meal as it contains under 500 calories and 2g of saturated fats. It also has two portions of vegetables. (This will depend on the brand of pesto you use). Yes! You can make ahead for a fantastic pre-prepared lunch or use the leftovers for a salad or in a pasta the following day. You could add some pine nuts when you add the green beans and tomatoes to add texture and flavour. Broccoli or sliced courgette would also work well in this dish. You could also substitute the chicken mini fillets for slice chicken breast or pieces of turkey.
