Ingredients

Courgettes

  • 2 courgettes, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp Italian spices

Caprese

  • 1 pack vine tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 pack baby mozzarella, halved
  • 1 bunch basil, leaves picked

  • 1 pack chicken breast, cut into steaks

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C or preheat BBQ to medium-high (if using). Prep courgettes & Caprese. Set aside separately.
  2. Prep & cook chicken. Pat chicken dry and cut into steaks. Place your hand flat on top of chicken and slice through horizontally. Season and toss with second measure of Italian spices and a drizzle of oil. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Rest, covered. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ.
  3. Cook courgettes & heat bread. Return pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add courgettes, first measure of Italian spices, a pinch of salt and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Season to taste. Heat bread in oven for about 5 minutes, until warmed through. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ.
  4. To finish. Thinly slice chicken and place on top of cooked veggies along with any resting juices and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season. Slice bread.
  5. Assemble Caprese. Place tomatoes on a plate and top with mozzarella, basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season.
  6. Serve veggies and chicken with Caprese and focaccia.
