Method
- Preheat a conventional oven to 200 °C. Drain the mozzarella, slice it and pat it dry with kitchen paper; wash the tomato, slice it thinly and pat it dry so the filling doesn't make the meat soggy.
- With a sharp knife cut a deep pocket into the thickest side of the chicken breast, without piercing the other side; salt it inside and out.
- Fill the pocket with the mozzarella, tomato and basil leaves, close it with a cocktail stick and put the chicken in an ovenproof dish; dress it with half the oil and the dried oregano.
- Bake for 22 minutes, until golden, white inside and the mozzarella has melted.
- Let it rest for 2 minutes and remove the cocktail stick. Wash the mixed salad, dress it with the remaining oil and a pinch of salt and serve it with the chicken and the bread.
