It seems that Italian style sandwiches are all the rage at the moment, according to recent newspaper reports mozzarella sales are through the roof! Well what about adding succulent chicken along with roasted Mediterranean veggies to that all time delicious airy focaccia bread.

Ingredients

  • Chunk of Fresh Focaccia sliced in half if rather thick. 
  • Herb Fed chicken sliced thickly 
  • 1 thick slice of Mozzarella
  • 1-2 heaped teaspoons Pesto
  • 1 teaspoon harissa paste
  • 1/2 Roasted Red pepper
  • 1/2 Roasted Courgette sliced into strips

Method

  1. For ours we used a simple rosemary and sea salt focaccia to complement the succulent Herb Fed chicken.
  2. Slice the focaccia in half and slather the insides with Harrisa paste and a few rather big dollops of pesto, before layering up with the roasted red peppers, courgette strips and a lovely big circle of soft oozy mozzarella.
  3. Then add layers of succulent chopped chicken - whatever is leftover from your Sunday roast. Ours were slightly seasoned with oregano, salt & pepper.  You can use any part of the chicken that you like - just make sure you have a nice big thick layer to make it the most satisfying of sandwich you’re going to eat this summer.
  4. To roast the peppers and courgette, Stephanie simply drizzled with a little oil and roasted in a hot oven at 200 degrees for around 20 minutes or until they reach that wonderful soft tender roasted succulence. Then let them cool slightly before assembling.
