Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, preheat BBQ to medium-high heat. • Thinly slice pear into wedges. • Grate smoked Cheddar cheese. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken thigh, Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Season.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the cheese.
• When BBQ is hot, grill bacon until golden, 3-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. • Grill chicken, turning, until charred and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
No BBQ? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook bacon until golden, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways. • Place ciabatta on a second lined oven tray and sprinkle over smoked Cheddar cheese. • Bake until melted and golden, 5 minutes.
• Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix, pear, semi-dried tomatoes and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Little cooks: Take the lead and toss the salad!
• Slice chicken. • Spread ciabatta with BBQ mayo. Top with bacon, chargrilled chicken and some semi-dried tomato salad. • Serve with fries, garlic aioli and remaining salad. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The smoked cheddar, bacon, and chargrilled chicken were widely praised as a winning combination. Some found the semi-dried tomatoes slightly overpowering, while others felt the dish was a touch dry or mild.
- Ease of prep: Most found it straightforward and fun to cook, including as a family activity. Assembling the subs can get a little messy, so having everything prepped and ready before building helps.
- Suggestions: Roasting the sweet potato chips with chicken salt was a popular tip. Some preferred less rocket in the salad, and one reviewer suggested tucking the salad inside the subs rather than serving it separately.
- Leftovers: Leftover ciabatta with cheese reheated well as a pizza-style lunch the next day.
- Portions: This is a generous, filling meal — some found the chips optional given the size of the subs.
