• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs
(see ingredients) and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Place chicken breast on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season
generously with salt. Turn to coat. Squeeze half the creamy pesto dressing
onto the chicken and sprinkle over panko-Parmesan mixture, gently pressing
so it sticks.

is cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 14-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks.
• Spread sweet potato over a large microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp
paper towel. Microwave potatoes on high, 3 minutes.
• Drain any excess liquid, then place sweet potatoes on a second lined oven tray.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Spread out evenly, then roast until golden and tender, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Roughly chop red apple (see ingredients).
• In a large bowl, combine the honey with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil.
• Add carrot, apple, mixed salad leaves and slaw mix, tossing to combine. Season
to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slice chicken.
• Divide baked pesto-Parmesan crusted chicken, roast sweet potato chunks and
slaw between plates.
• Serve with remaining creamy pesto dressing. Enjoy!
