Cooking Steps

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Lay the chicken thighs flat onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.

c) Once the oven is hot, roast the chicken on the middle shelf of your oven until browned and cooked through, 16-18 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

b) Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

3

a) Once your chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred the chicken as finely as you can. Stir the fresh pesto through the chicken.

b) Divide the rocket between your bowls and top with the chopped tomatoes, mozzarella pieces and pesto chicken.

c) Drizzle over the balsamic glaze and scatter over the pine nuts to finish.
