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
