Serves

Total Time
40 Minutes
Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breasts
50g of plain flour
1 tsp of dried oregano
1 egg
75g of panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp of olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
To Serve
1 x 125g ball of mozzarella cheese, drained
4 heaped tsp of basil pesto
4 medium tomatoes, sliced
A handful of fresh rocket
4 ciabatta rolls, halved
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Take a large piece of baking paper, place a chicken breast on the left half of the paper and fold the right half of the paper over the top. Whack the chicken with the end of a rolling pin until it’s an even thickness all over. Set this chicken breast aside and repeat with the remaining chicken. Cut each breast in half so you have 8 smaller pieces in total.

Step 3

Take 3 wide, shallow dishes. In one, mix the flour, dried oregano, a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. In the second dish, mix the egg with a pinch of salt. In the third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dip each chicken piece in the flour, the egg and finally the breadcrumbs, shaking off the excess. Place onto the lined baking tray spacing them a few centimetres apart. Drizzle with half of the oil, then flip them all over and drizzle with the remaining oil.

Step 5

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time, until golden and crisp.

Step 6

Cut the mozzarella into 8 slices and place one slice onto each piece of chicken. Return to the oven for 5 minutes so that the cheese can melt.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and top each piece of chicken with a little pesto. Serve in the ciabatta rolls with the rocket and tomatoes.
