Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Tear bake-at-home ciabatta (see ingredients) into small chunks. • Finely chop garlic. • Place torn ciabatta on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and Italian herbs. Season, then toss to coat. • Bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.

• Meanwhile, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken, turning, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side. • Remove pan from heat and add basil pesto, turning chicken to coat.

• While the chicken is cooking, halve snacking tomatoes (see ingredients). • In a large bowl, combine the honey and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste. • Add mixed salad leaves, snacking tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and herby croutons. Toss to coat.

• Slice basil pesto chicken. • Divide panzanella-style salad between plates. Top with pesto chicken, spooning over any pan juices. • Serve with garlic aioli. Enjoy!
