There's nothing quite like a one pan dinner that does all the heavy lifting for you, and this summer roast chicken traybake is exactly that. Everything goes into one tray, the oven does the work, and in just over an hour you've got a complete meal on the table. I love how the pesto mingles with the roasted vegetables and juicy chicken, while the cannellini beans add protein and fibre to keep you feeling satisfied. It's genuinely one of my favourite ways to get dinner sorted on a busy weeknight without fussing over multiple pots and pans.
