Method

  1. Step 1

    Place the chicken on a clean work surface. Season. Place 3 basil leaves on top of each piece of chicken. Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each piece of chicken to enclose the basil.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 mins each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Set aside for 5 mins to rest.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, arrange the tomato and extra basil on a large serving platter. Top with the burrata or mozzarella. Season.

  4. Step 4

    Place the vinegar and oil in a screw-top jar and shake until well combined. Season. Drizzle over tomato salad and top with chicken. Serve with chargrilled sourdough slices.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up:
Cut any remaining sourdough into 2cm pieces, then toast in the oven until crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Add croutons to salads. 

Smart swap: Already got pork or beef sizzle steaks in the fridge or freezer? Use them here instead of the chicken.

Ingredient tip: You can substitute burrata for fresh mozzarella.
