Cooking Steps

Roast potatoes
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then quarter.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add potatoes and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt, pepper and half the Italian Herb Spice Blend, then toss to coat. 
  • Roast in the top of the oven for 24-28 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, shallots, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar and 1 tsp (2 tsp) vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. 
  • In a small bowl, combine half the Parmesan and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) basil pesto. (NOTE: This is your chicken stuffing.)
Prep and stuff chicken
3
  • On a separate cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels. 
  • Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to cutting board, leaving 1-inch intact on the other end.
  • Open up chicken like a book. Season both sides with salt, pepper and remaining Italian Herb Spice Blend.
  • Top one side of each chicken breast with filling (from step 2), then fold the other side over filling to close.
Sear and roast chicken
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Sear 2-3 min per side, until golden.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Transfer chicken to another parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 12 - 15 min, until chicken is cooked through.**
  • When done, set chicken aside for 5 min to rest.
Make balsamic glaze
5
  • Heat a small pot over medium.
  • When hot, add half the honey, remaining vinegar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until mixture has reduced by half and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Make salad and serve
6
  • In another large bowl, whisk together remaining basil pesto, remaining honey and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add spring mix, then toss to coat. 
  • Divide chicken, roasted potatoes and salad between plates. Top chicken with tomato-shallot mixture.
  • Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over salad.
  • Drizzle DIY balsamic glaze over chicken and potatoes.
