Cooking Steps

Roast potatoes
1
  • Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges.
  • Add potatoes, Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the top of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 25-28 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
Prep and make filling
2
  • Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
  • Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is your salad dressing!)
  • Combine pesto, cream cheese and white cheddar cheese in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (NOTE: This is your filling!)
Prep chicken
3
  • On a separate cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2 inch intact on the other end. 
  • Open up chicken like a book. Season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Dollop pesto-cheese filling onto one side of each chicken breast. 
  • Close the other side over filling.
Sear chicken
4
  • Wrap 2 bacon strips around each stuffed chicken breast. (TIP: Overlapping strips by 1/2 inch helps keep bacon on the chicken!)
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
  • Pan-fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.)
Roast chicken
5
  • Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 16-18 min.** (TIP: If any filling is left on the baking sheet, spoon it over top of chicken when serving.)
Make salad and serve
6
  • When chicken is almost done, add spring mix, tomatoes and croutons to the medium bowl with salad dressing. Toss to combine.
  • Let chicken rest for 5 min before serving. 
  • Divide chicken, potatoes and salad between plates.
