We're in our light and bright era this Summer, so only a salad will do. Our rich red pesto transforms this fuss-free meal into something special. Slather it on juicy seared chicken, serve with a garlicky crouton-adorned salad and you have a dish that brings the Italian vibes to the table.

We’ve replaced the red pesto in this recipe with basil pesto due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

• 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. • Add chicken to the pan, then turn to coat. Cook chicken until cooked through (when it's no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side. • Remove pan from the heat and add the red pesto, turning the chicken to coat.

TIP: Cook chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded!

• 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 croutons. Toss to coat.

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