Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of pesto and 1 large egg until well combined. Dip each chicken breast into the pesto mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, toss 2 cups of cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the tomatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Serve the crispy pesto chicken alongside the roasted tomato and feta medley for a delicious and visually appealing meal.
