PICKLED Onion
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and a sweetener. Toss through the sliced Onion and set aside to pickle.
SHREDDED Chicken
In a small bowl, combine a generous squeeze of Lemon juice and the picked thyme. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through and crispy, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the thyme lemon juice. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices, and rest for 5 minutes before shredding and seasoning. Toss the shredded chicken through the pan juices before serving.
CRUNCHY CROUTONS
Toss the bread chunks in a drizzle of olive oil, the grated garlic, and seasoning. Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, toast the bread until crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Rinse and pick the mixed herbs. Finely slice the picked basil. In a bowl, combine ½ the baby tomatoes, ½ the mixed herbs, and the pickled onion with the pickling vinegar. Scrunch with your hands to make a rough pulp. Mix through ⅔ of the croutons, the drained olives, the chopped Capers, the remaining tomatoes, the remaining herbs, the salad leaves, 30ml of olive oil, and seasoning.
PACK THE PANZANELLA
