HelloHero: Pesto-Crusted Chicken Tenders & Potato Chunks
with Rainbow Salad
In this surprisingly simple recipe, creamy pesto adds a rich and herby flavour to the juicy chicken tenders, while also helping the Parmesan crust to stick. Serve with a couple of colourful sides to balance out the richness.
We’ve replaced the chicken breast in this recipe with chicken tenderloins due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. • Place chicken breast on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season generously with salt. Turn to coat. Squeeze half the creamy pesto dressing onto the chicken and sprinkle over panko-Parmesan mixture, gently pressing so it sticks. Drizzle chicken with olive oil. • Drizzle chicken with olive oil. Bake until crumb is golden and chicken is cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Spread potato over a large microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave potatoes on high, 3 minutes. • Drain any excess liquid, then place potatoes on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until golden and tender, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grate carrot (see ingredients). • In a large bowl, combine the honey with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. • Add carrot and deluxe salad mix, tossing to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide pesto-crusted chicken, potato chunks and rainbow salad between plates. • Serve with remaining creamy pesto dressing. Enjoy!
