Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 340g new potatoes
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g peas
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 15g pesto
  • 15g almonds
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and peas, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until a knife slides in easily, then halve.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cherry tomatoes and peas for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: new potatoes first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the pesto, almonds for extra energy-dense calories.
