Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
Toss the potato pieces on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast on the top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, about 20-25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto over each piece.
Press the panko mixture onto the pesto-coated chicken breasts to form an even crust.
Place the chicken on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the crispy pesto panko chicken alongside the roasted potatoes.
