Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken and put in the pan skin-side down. Sprinkle over the thyme sprigs and cook for 7-8 mins until the chicken skin is golden, then turn. Drizzle in 3 tbsp water. Cover and cook for a further 7-8 mins, until the chicken is golden all over and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  • STEP 2

    Pour another 1 tsp of the oil into the pan and add the chunks of bread. Stir to coat and toast until golden all over, about 5 mins.

  • STEP 3

    Meanwhile, make the dressing. Pulse the basil with the lemon juice and remaining 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 – mash the basil with the lemon juice, then stir in the oil and seasoning. Toss the peaches, 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 chicken and croutons.
