Ingredients

2 chicken breast fillets (500g), cut into 3cm pieces

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tblsps olive oil

2 x 35cm long breadsticks

3⁄4 cup fresh basil pesto

200g punnet cherry tomato medley, halved

1 1⁄2 cups shredded mozzarella

Mixed salad leaves, to serve

Method

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

2. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat. Add chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and just cooked. Remove from heat.

3. Using a serrated knife, cut baguettes in half horizontally. Place cut-side up on a large oven tray lined with baking paper. Spread cut-sides with pesto. Top with chicken and tomatoes. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella.

4. Cook in a hot oven (200C) for about 10 minutes, or until bread is crisp and cheese is melted.

5. Serve with salad leaves.
