Ingredients

  • 500g pack ready-cooked polenta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 25g dried breadcrumbs
  • 25g parmesan
  • 125g ball mozzarella
  • 4 ciabatta or burger buns, lightly toasted
  • salad leaves, to serve
  • SunBlush tomatoes, to serve
  • fresh basil pesto, to serve

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the polenta into thick chips and rub all over with a little oil. Spread out over a baking sheet and cook for 20 mins until golden. Cut each chicken breast in half, lightly flatten using a rolling pin or heavy can, then rub all over with oil. Spread the breadcrumbs and Parmesan out on a plate, then dip in the chicken to coat.

  2. Place the chicken on another baking sheet and cook for 10-12 mins until just crisp and cooked through. Place a mozzarella slice on top and return to the oven until starting to melt. Pile the burgers onto buns with some salad leaves, tomatoes and a dollop of pesto. Serve with the polenta chips.
