Rustic Herb Chicken & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

with Mash & Creamy Pesto Dressing

Classic rustic flavours shine through in this fuss-free feast. With herbed garlicky chicken, sweet bursts of roasted cherry tomato, creamy mash and a fresh cucumber salad, it's enough to make anyone envious.

Unfortunately, this week's Italian dressing was in short supply, so we've replaced it with creamy pesto dressing. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!

Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Drain the tinned cherry tomatoes (see ingredients). Slice the red onion (see ingredients) into 1cm wedges. Place the tomatoes and onion on an oven tray lined with baking paper and toss with the balsamic vinegar (for the veggies). Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Roast until tender and caramelised, 15-20 minutes.

Make The Mash
2

While the veggies are roasting, peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Cook the potato in the saucepan of boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return the potato to the saucepan, then add the butter, milk and the salt. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

Get prepped
3

While the potato is cooking, finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Pick the thyme leaves. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

Cook the chicken
4

In a large bowl, combine the rustic herb spice blend (see ingredients), brown sugar and a good drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, in batches, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate. Add the garlic and thyme to the pan and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat. Cover with a lid to keep warm. Set aside. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.

Make the salad
5

In a second large bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves and cucumber. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the dressing) and a drizzle of olive oil, then toss to coat.

Serve up
6

Divide the mash between plates, then top with the rustic herb chicken and roasted veggies. Spoon over any juices from the tray. Serve with the cucumber salad. Top with the creamy pesto dressing.
