Butterflied Pesto Chicken with Mozzarella Salad

30 - 45 min Moderate 4

Preparation

  • Using a sharp knife, butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it almost in half horizontally, so that it opens up into one large, thin breast
  • Score a few diagonal lines on both sides, then rub all over with half of the Sacla’ Pesto and the oil
  • Set aside to marinate for a few minutes while you fire up the barbie or preheat a griddle pan or the grill
  • Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, until charred in places and the chicken is cooked through
  • Meanwhile, toss the mozzarella balls with the rest of the Sacla’ Pesto
  • Arrange the tomatoes and rocket on serving plates, then scatter over the mozzarella balls
  • Top with the hot chicken, drizzle with the little oil and serve
