For this Italian inspired dish, we're roasting veg with pesto and serving alongside chicken to perfectly complement the slight sweetness of the veg and herby savouriness of the pesto.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).
Trim the carrots, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small chunks.
Halve and peel the red onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges.

Pop the carrots and potatoes onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins.
Lay the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
Roast the chicken on the top shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Halfway through cooking, turn the carrots and potatoes, then add the onion to the tray. Return to the oven for the remaining time.

When the veg has 5 mins left, remove the tray from the oven, drizzle over the honey, then return to the oven for the remaining time. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Once your veg is cooked, remove from the oven, drizzle over the pesto and toss everything together until everything's well coated.

Share your chicken and roasted pesto veg between your plates.
Add a handful of rocket to your plates and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
Serve the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount) alongside for dipping.
