Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook your Chicken

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Lay the chicken thighs flat onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.

c) Once the oven is hot, roast the chicken on the middle shelf of your oven until browned and cooked through, 16-18 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Get Prepped

2

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

Hey Pesto
