Ingredients
1/4 cup (60 ml) pesto
1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 sweet potatoes with skins, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) wedges
1 russet potato with skin, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) wedges
2 onions, cut into rings 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) toasted pine nuts
Fresh basil leaves to taste
VINAIGRETTE
2 tablespoons (30 ml) pesto
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sugar
Salt and pepper
Preparation
In a glass baking dish, combine the pesto and the lime juice. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
COOKING
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes, potato and onions with 30 ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are
al dente
, about 20 minutes. Keep warm.
In a skillet, brown the chicken on each side in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking sheet, beside the vegetables, and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
VINAIGRETTE
Meanwhile, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the chicken and serve with the vegetables. Sprinkle with pine nuts and basil leaves and drizzle with vinaigrette.
Note from Ricardo
If you’re cooking on Sunday, marinate the chicken for cooking on Monday evening.
