This stuffed Mediterranean chicken dish is a good way of using up mozzarella and roasted peppers. For a tasty alternative, omit the mozzarella and add a spoonful of pesto instead.

Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Make slits along the sides of the chicken breasts to make a large pocket in each. Season inside and out.
- Stuff each generously with 2 slices of mozzarella, a couple of ready-roasted peppers and a few fresh basil leaves. Place on a lightly oiled baking tray with a handful of vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes are soft.
- Meanwhile, toss a handful of baby spinach leaves with the pine nuts of your choice and a handful ready-made croutons.
- Dress with your favourite vinaigrette and serve alongside the chicken and roasted tomatoes.
