Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the chicken in a shallow roasting tin, drizzle with ½ tbsp olive oil and season. Roast for 25 mins until golden, cooked through and the skin is crispy. Shred, then set aside to cool a little.
Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes into chunky pieces and put in a colander set over a bowl. Add the salt, mix and set aside for 15 mins.
Whisk the vinegar, garlic and 2 tbsp oil into the tomato juices in the bowl. Add the onion, tomatoes and half the basil. Stir to coat and set aside for the flavours to mingle.
Reduce the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Scatter the bread into the tin you used to roast the chicken, turning in the fat and 1 tsp oil if needed; season. Toast in the oven for 10 mins or until golden.
Add the toasted bread, capers, olives, shredded roast chicken and remaining basil to the salad and toss everything together.
