Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Using half the courgette, make ribbons by running a peeler the full length along the courgette. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
2. TO PREPARE THE CHICKEN:
Remove the free-range chicken breast from its packaging and slice into 2 cm slices. Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the chicken, season with salt and brown for 1-2 mins on each side. Remove from the pan into a bowl and cover to keep warm.
3. TO COOK THE ORZO:
Place the pan back over a medium heat. Once hot, add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and cook for 1-2 mins. Pour in the tomato sugo, 1/3 cup of water and orzo and bring to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat to low, cover with a lid or tinfoil and cook for 4-5 mins. Stir through the courgette, add the chicken and any resting juices to the pan and sprinkle over the mozzarella. Cook, covered for a further 2-3 mins or until chicken and pasta are cooked through and the cheese has melted. Season well with salt and pepper.
TO SERVE:
Spoon chicken caprese into a bowl. Top with a handful of mesclun and dollop with basil drizzle. Serve with remaining mesclun on the side drizzled with olive oil.
