Cutlet thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner cutlet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.While meal bakes, stir 1 tsp. water into remaining pesto crema (using a clean utensil) until combined. If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.Carefully remove both trays from oven. Stir softened butter into potatoes until melted and combined.To serve, top chicken with remaining pesto crema. Bon appétit!
