Baked Pesto Chicken Thighs And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, pesto, water, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large roasting pan; mix well.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Place chicken thighs onto the prepared baking sheet and coat each side with pesto. Press panko mixture onto chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place thighs in a baking dish. Season chicken thighs on all sides with garlic powder and onion flakes.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Combine red onion, oil, soy sauce, basil, vinegar, garlic, and peppercorns for marinade in a zip-top bag and mix well. Add chicken and massage well. Let sit for 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator, flipping once halfway through.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard marinade.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. (This will melt out most of the fat underneath and will leave a nice crispy skin.) Flip chicken and cook for 1 minute more. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Drain the extra fat and oil from the skillet, then melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. When butter has melted, add red onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in green beans, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring throughout. Return chicken to the skillet.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven. Top chicken thighs with basil leaves, then halloumi cheese slices, making sure cheese does not touch the sides of the pan. Return to the oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Turn on the broiler and broil until the cheese is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more, checking frequently to prevent burning.
• Meanwhile, prepare pesto sauce: Combine olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a blender and blitz for 30 seconds. Add basil and blitz until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30 seconds.
• Drizzle the pesto sauce primary onto the chicken, but also on the veggies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk pesto and mayonnaise together in a bowl. Dredge both sides of each chicken tender in the pesto mixture and coat with bread crumbs. Arrange tenders on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn chicken pieces and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir pesto and garlic in medium bowl to blend. Transfer 1 tablespoon pesto mixture to small bowl and reserve for sauce.
• Spread 1/4 cup pesto mixture over outside and 1 tablespoon inside main cavity of chicken. Place potatoes in large roasting pan and toss with remaining pesto mixture. Push potatoes to sides of pan; place chicken in center. Sprinkle chicken and potatoes with salt and pepper. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thigh registers 180°F and potatoes are brown and tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Transfer chicken and potatoes to platter. Add broth and reserved 1 tablespoon pesto to roasting pan. Place pan over heat; bring broth to boil, scraping up browned bits. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Serve chicken and potatoes with sauce.
