"Basil, tomato and mozzarella are a banging combo! Smother pesto over chicken breast, top it with mozzarella and bake it until gooey and melted. With balsamic roasted cherry tomatoes, red onion and crispy potatoes - it's a winner!"

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces
2
Cut the red onion[s] into wedges, leaving the skins on (this helps them cook quicker!)
3
Add the chopped potatoes, red onion wedges and cherry tomatoes to a baking tray (or two!)
Add the balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until the vegetables are soft and the potatoes are crisp
4
Whilst the vegetables are cooking, place your hand flat onto the chicken breast[s]
Slice in half as if you were cutting a burger bun, so you are left with 2 [4] thinner pieces
5
Tear the mozzarella roughly
6
Add the sliced chicken to a tin foil-lined baking tray
Top the chicken with the classic nut pesto and mozzarella
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until the cheese is golden and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your mozzarella & pesto chicken
7
Once the vegetables are done, carefully cut off the root, then remove and discard the skins of the red onion
