Directions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add tomato sauce and pesto, stirring to combine until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is well-coated with the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Bake the chicken in the oven for 25 minutes. While the chicken is baking, boil water and cook polenta according to package instructions, then cut into fries and bake for crispy edges.
- Steam the tenderstem broccoli for 5-7 minutes until it is tender yet crisp. Simultaneously, boil sweetcorn until cooked, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done, serve it hot with polenta chips on the side along with tenderstem broccoli and sweetcorn.
