Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato and Nan's special seasoning on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the seasoning and tossing the potato.

• Meanwhile, cut deep slices across chicken breast at 1cm intervals, taking care to not slice all the way through. • Place chicken, cut-side up, on a second lined oven tray. Fill slices with basil pesto and season with salt and pepper.

• Place chicken on the lower oven shelf. Bake until cooked through, 12-16 minutes (depending on the size). • In the last 5 minutes of cook time, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over pesto chicken, then return to the oven and bake until melted.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top. Careful! The chicken is hot.

Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
