Peach, Mozzarella and Chicken Panzanella recipe by Cherrypick

Juicy peaches, creamy mozzarella and golden chicken come together in this fresh twist on a classic panzanella. Tossed with crisp toasted sourdough, ripe tomatoes and a fragrant basil dressing, it's a light yet satisfying summer meal.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven or air fryer to 200oC. Tear the sourdough into bite-sized chunks, drizzle with half of the olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and scatter over the thyme leaves. Pop the tray into the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the croutons are golden and crispy. You will need to give the tray a shake halfway through cooking.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the dressing. Pulse the basil and Dijon mustard with the vinegar and the remaining olive oil in a mini food processor until combined and finely chopped. Season and transfer to a small dish. You can also use a pestle and mortar – Toss the peaches, chicken, salad leaves and tomatoes with the dressing and tip onto a platter. Slice the chicken. Tear the mozzarella over the salad, then scatter over the warm croutons. Add a final drizzle of olive oil and serve.
