Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Chicken

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the chicken from the packaging and place in an ovenproof dish, discarding the juices. Season with salt and pepper.

b) Roast on the middle shelf of your oven for 20-25 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the chicken is piping hot throughout.

c) Once cooked, remove from the oven, then use two forks to gently break apart the chicken and mix through the pesto.

Prep the Salad

2

a) While the chicken roasts, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks and season with salt and pepper.

b) In a large bowl, combine the rocket with half the Parmigiano Reggiano and the olive oil (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Don't add the olive oil too early or the leaves will go soggy.

Lunch is Served

3

a) Divide the dressed rocket between 2 serving bowls and top with the chopped tomatoes, mozzarella pieces and pesto chicken.

b) Drizzle over the balsamic glaze.

c) Sprinkle over the pine nuts and remaining Parmigiano Reggiano to finish.
