Ingredients

Veggies

  • 2 courgettes, finely diced
  • 1 capsicum, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp Italian spices

Caprese

  • 1 pack vine tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 pack baby mozzarella, halved
  • 1 bunch basil, leaves picked

Chicken

  • 1 pack chicken breast, cut into steaks
  • 2 tsp Italian spices

To Serve

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Alternatively, preheat BBQ to medium-high (if using). Prep veggies & Caprese. Set courgettes and capsicum aside. Place tomatoes on a plate and top with mozzarella, basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season.
  2. Prep & cook chicken. Pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. Place your hand flat on top of chicken and slice through horizontally. Season and toss with second measure of Italian spices and a drizzle of oil. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Rest, covered. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ.
  3. Cook veggies & heat bread. Return pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add courgettes, capsicum, first measure of Italian spices, 1/2 tsp salt and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Season to taste. Heat bread in oven for about 5 minutes, until heated through.
  4. To finish. Thinly slice chicken and place on top of cooked veggies along with resting juices and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season. Slice bread.
  5. Serve veggies and chicken with Caprese and focaccia.
