Cook your Chicken
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.

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

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.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The pesto and balsamic glaze add delicious flavour, though some found the balsamic overpowering.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a speedy lunch or work meal.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding bread on the side for a more filling meal. Try substituting mozzarella with a tastier cheese like Greek-style.
  • Next-day meals: Makes for great packed lunches; some customers split it over multiple days for work.
