Method
In partnership with Mob.
- Heat the oven to 160C fan.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes into chunky wedges and add to a large bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt and toss and set aside.
- Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over a high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan and cook for 5 mins on one side, then use tongs to flip over and cook for 2 mins on the other side, set aside to cool.
- Tear the croissants into large chunks and add to a baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper then then slide into the oven for 10 mins- until golden and crisp, you don’t need any oil.
- Make the dressing by whisking the ingredients with 3 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the tomatoes, then tip back into the bowl. Slice the chicken and add to the bowl along with most of the basil leaves. Use a peeler to peel most of the parmesan into the bowl. Add half the dressing and then tip onto a platter.
- Place the croissant croutons into the salad. Drizzle the remaining dressing, then finish with a pinch of chilli flakes, reserved basil leaves, parmesan shavings and a crack of black pepper.
