How to Cook Panzanella
- If you can't get cooked chicken breasts, just buy fresh and use our simple Grilled Chicken Portions recipe, then allow the chicken to cool. And if your bread isn't stale (2 to 3 days old), place the cubes into an oven dish or on a baking sheet and toast them lightly in the oven - 5 minutes at Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC should be enough.
- Chop the chicken into small, bite-size pieces. Peel and roughly chip the cucumber, tomatoes and onion. Place them in a large bowl along with the chicken, and then add the bread. Toss these ingredients together with your hands and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, capers (drained), sugar and salt and pepper together. (As long as you are thorough, you can use a spoon or fork to achieve this - it's just a question of blending the ingredients).
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss the ingredients together. Leave the salad to sit in the fridge for a few hours (or even overnight if you want to prepare it in advance). When you are ready to serve it, the bread should be moist, but not soggy. Just before serving, roughly tear the basil leaves, add these to the bowl and give it a final mix.

If you want to add a touch of "luxury" to your Panzanella, slice half a dozen black olives and add them to the mix.
