Prep and cook your protein

Heat the oven to 425°F. 

 

Fish:

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; rub with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.

 

Place the fish on a sheet pan and spread the roasted garlic pesto over the top. Roast until the fish is opaque and flaky, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. 

 

Chicken:

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; rub with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

 

Place the chicken on a sheet pan and roast for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, spread with the roasted garlic pesto, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate. 

 

When your protein is almost done, make the vegetables.

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Cut the zucchini and yellow squash in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Arrange the zucchini and squash in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and shallot-garlic confit and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Meanwhile, cook the lentils.

Cook the lentils

Place the lentils in a medium frying pan, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the vegetables, lentils, and your protein to individual plates and serve.
