One-Pan Meaty Roast Dinner
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound tiny new potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 220 degrees Celsius. To make the dish more convenient to clean up afterwards, cover a 10x15-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
2
Arrange the main ingredients - chicken, potatoes, and cherry tomatoes - in a single, even layer on the prepared pan. A light drizzle of oil is all that's needed to bring out their flavors, accompanied by a pinch of salt and pepper for added taste.
3
Place the prepared pan in the preheated oven and let it roast until the vegetables are tender, the chicken is cooked through, and its center is no longer pink. The juices should flow freely when you cut into it. This cooking time can vary between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven's performance.
4
Check the internal temperature of the chicken by inserting an instant-read thermometer into its center. The ideal reading should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or 74 degrees Celsius.
5
Serve the dish hot, accompanied by a side of pesto sauce and garnish it with fresh basil leaves for added visual appeal.
