Basil Chicken Pesto

Once again making without chicken. Wrist is injuerd so plan is to chop sweet potatoes a bit smaller than usual and then fry everything in a pot.

2 s potato, 2 brown onion. diced and s potato in pot on high heat. plan is to burn it then add onions then later garlic. Garlic is like 4cl minced. Aldi pesto sauce.

Was okay but just a worse tasting version of using multiple pans. Impossible to get a good char on the sweet potatoes, and I put the onions in perhaps too late.

Cooking tonight but didn’t check when I started, lets say 15 minutes ago with a slow start. Using chicken thigh instead but otherwise using listed ingredient quantities.

Doing 4 batches of chicken because first third came out grey. Didn’t need to cover sweet potato because all in one pan.

Done.

Did maybe 600 grams of chicken and 1.5 jars of pesto, including one $5 and half a $2 jar. Delish.

Plan is to bake ingredients instead.

So 2 sweet potatoes and 2 brown onions peeled and chopped on board in oil, salt, pepper. Added maybe 300g cherry tomatoes to one of the trays then put in oven at 200 conventional, planning on an hour or so. Going to add maybe 4-6 cl garlic after 30 min. Water is boiling already will add pasta when veggies nearly there. Then veggies and pesto into pot while still hot stir in, then pasta, then done.

Way way way less effort than frying, was hardly in the kitchen. Ended up slicing the garlic and putting on the tray for last 10 min.
