Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the chicken and bacon on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and roast for 10-15 mins until cooked through and turning golden.
- Meanwhile, mix the soft cheese with the pesto and spread over 1 side of each piece of toast. Divide half the lettuce and tomatoes, then all the chicken between 2 slices. Top each with 1 slice of toast, cheese-side up. Add the remaining lettuce and tomatoes, and the bacon. Top with the remaining toast, cheese-side down, and cut in half. Serve with sweet potato fries, if you like.
