Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/ gas 6. Put the vegetables into a large roasting tin. Scatter with the thyme and season. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and roast for 40 mins, turning halfway.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, soak 8 wooden skewers. Put the chicken into a shallow dish, then mix with the lemon juice and pesto.

  • step 3

    Thread the chicken and tomatoes onto the skewers, then put onto a roasting tray. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and roast for 20 mins, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through. Boil the pasta. Toss half of the roasted vegetables and pasta together, then serve with the pesto chicken kebabs.

Underwhelming, needs jazzing up. Shop bought pesto is so lacking in flavour I'd add fresh garlic in it and then add to the chicken. Pasta isn't flavoursome add herbs or chilli flakes and cook the pasta in stock.

Made this recipe with home made pesto instead and with 200g couscous instead of pasta and seasoned the vegetables with dried thyme and dried mixed herbs it was delicious! However I only used one pepper, one courgette and half the butternut squash and it made enough to feed about 6, delicious next…
