Hasselback Chicken Caprese With Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup (18g) basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 3 tbsp (45g) olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 4 (6 oz/170g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 medium (350g) campari tomatoes, sliced
  • 3 oz (85g) part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups (225g) broccoli florets
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. In a blender, combine the basil, 2 tbsp of the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/8 tsp of the salt; blend until smooth to make the pesto.

Make vertical cuts every 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) in the chicken breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through, to create pockets. Fill each pocket with a slice of tomato and mozzarella, then spoon the pesto into the pockets. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and the pepper, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and remaining 1/8 tsp salt, and arrange on the baking sheet around the chicken. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Serve the chicken with the fennel on the side.

This is a great option for a quick, low-maintenance dinner, and it’s packed with anti-inflammatory properties from the salmon (1).

Sheet Pan Miso Salmon With Baby Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 4 (5-oz./142g) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (42g) whole-wheat panko crumbs
  • 4 small baby bok choy, halved lengthwise (quartered if larger)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat generously with cooking spray. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, remove any pin bones from the salmon fillets. Arrange the fillets skin-side down in the center of the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, miso paste, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, then gently press the panko crumbs onto the surface so they adhere.

In a medium bowl, toss the bok choy with the oil until evenly coated. Scatter the vegetables around the salmon and season with the salt and pepper. Roast, rotating the pan once halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F, about 12–15 minutes.

To serve, slide a spatula gently between the flesh and skin of each fillet — the skin should release easily from the foil. Transfer to plates, discarding the skin, and serve immediately.
