  • Cut the stems off the asparagus and broccoli. Cut the asparagus into three, slice the broccoli and cut the radishes in half. Place in a bowl and coat with 1 tbsp of pesto sauce making sure every veggie is coated.
  • Take the chicken out after 60 minutes and spoon the extra oil all over the skin to make sure it browns. Place the veggies all around the chicken and put back into the oven for an extra 20 minutes.
