How to make the recipe

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it almost in half horizontally, so that it opens up into one large, thin breast

Step 2

Score a few diagonal lines on both sides, then rub all over with the Sacla’ Classic Basil Pesto and the oil

Step 3

Set aside to marinate for a few minutes while you fire up the barbie or preheat a griddle pan or the grill

Step 4

Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, until charred in places and the chicken is cooked through

Step 5

Meanwhile, toss the mozzarella balls with the Sacla’ Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

Step 6

Arrange the tomatoes and rocket on serving plates, then scatter over the mozzarella balls

Step 7

Top with the hot chicken, drizzle with the little oil and serve
