Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 pound tiny new potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

  • ½ cup pesto

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.

  2. Arrange chicken, potatoes, and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. Serve with pesto and garnish with basil.

Recipe Tips

You can use 1 1/2 pounds of any boneless meat, 1 pound of any prepped starchy vegetables, 2 cups of any prepped non-starchy vegetables, 1/2 cup of any prepared sauce or relish, and any fresh herbs you like. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the meat you choose.

Southwestern Beef Variation: Use a 1-inch-thick flat iron steak, frozen sweet corn kernels, red or orange bell peppers (cut into 1/2-inch strips), pico de gallo, and cilantro leaves.

Barbecue Pork Variation: Use trimmed pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes (cut into 3/4-inch chunks), trimmed fresh green beans, barbecue sauce, and sliced green onions.
