Add flavour to a butterflied chicken breast by topping it with tomato and cheese, then baking until golden! Served with a hearty panzanella salad and a drizzle of syrupy balsamic glaze for the finishing touch, this meal is almost as good as summer in Italy!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the tomato. Cut the cucumber into thin half-moons. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Tear the bake-at-home ciabatta into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the parsley leaves (reserve some for garnish!).

Butterfly chicken
2

Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and cut through horizontally, without slicing all the way through. Open the chicken up like a book.

Bake the chicken
3

In a medium bowl, place the butterflied chicken, garlic, the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat, then place the chicken, cut-side up, on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Top with the tomato slices and sprinkle with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake the chicken for 6-10 minutes, or until cooked through and the cheese is golden. Set aside to rest until serving.

Bake the ciabatta
4

While the chicken is baking, place the ciabatta chunks on a second oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until lightly crisp.

Make the salad
5

In a large bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar with olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, spinach & rocket mix, 1/2 the ciabatta chunks and parsley leaves. TIP: Keep the extra ciabatta in an airtight container for 3 days and add to salads.

Serve up
6

Divide the baked cheesy Italian chicken and panzanella salad between plates. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and chicken and garnish with the reserved parsley.
