Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (to bake the croutons, veggies and chicken). Start prepping when the oven comes up to temperature!
Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch cubes. Mince or grate the garlic. On a baking sheet, toss the cubed bread and garlic with a drizzle of oil. Bake in the centre of the oven, stirring halfway through, until golden-brown, 8-10 min.
Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce.* Roughly chop the parsley. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes. Core, then cut the bell peppers into 1/4-inch thin strips.
Transfer the croutons to a large bowl and set aside. On the same baking sheet, toss the zucchini and bell peppers with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the centre of the oven until golden-brown, 14-15 min
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Rub the pesto all over the chicken. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
Transfer the chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the centre of the oven until the chicken is cooked through, 14-16 min. (TIP: Cook each piece to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F, as size may vary.**)
Toss the zucchini, bell peppers, parsley and vinegar into the large bowl with the croutons. Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the chicken and panzanella salad between plates.
