Instructions

1 Cook chicken

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 min on either side until golden brown. Once golden brown, add the measured water and chicken stock cube to the pan, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 min.

2 Prep salad and dressing

Meanwhile, wash and roughly chop the lettuce and cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Refrigerate. Peel and chop the shallots very finely. Add the shallots, olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and black pepper to a jar or bowl. Whisk or shake until fully combined - this is your dressing.

3 Pull chicken

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and, using two forks, pull the chicken until it's fully shredded. Add the pesto and grated cheese to the pan and give everything a good mix up.

4 Stuff ciabattas

Slice the ciabattas open. Sandwich the cheese and chicken mixture in between the ciabatta slices.

5 Grill ciabattas

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the ciabatta sandwiches and place a smaller pan directly on top of them. Place a heavy weight (e.g. several cans) onto the smaller pan and fry for 3 min per side until golden.
