Prepare Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Season chicken on both sides with salt and Italian herbs. Trim zucchini and medium dice. Peel sweet potato and cut into 2cm chunks.
Seal Chicken:
Heat fry pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken in hot pan, skin-side down. Cook until skin has browned and fat has rendered, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook a further minute.
Sweet Potato & Pea Mash:
Cover sweet potato with water in a pot and bring to the boil. Cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes (adding peas in the final minute of cooking). Drain, add Dijon and butter and mash until smooth. Taste and season as required. Cover with lid to keep warm.
Roast Chicken & Veg:
Toss zucchini and tomatoes in pesto and add to the lined baking tray along with the chicken (skin side up) and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and veg is tender.
