Cooking Steps
- Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Cut four sections off each nectarine, avoiding the pit.
- Transfer ciabatta slices and nectarine sections to a plate. Brush with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add pesto, a plate with ciabatta and nectarines and a clean plate (for cooked chicken) to a large tray to bring to grill in step 3.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end.
- Open up chicken like a book. Season both sides with half the garlic salt and pepper.
- Head out to the grill with chicken and tray of ingredients!
- Add chicken to one side of the grill. Reduce heat to medium, close lid and grill, flipping once, until chicken is cooked through, 5-7 min per side.**
- Transfer chicken to a plate. Spread pesto over tops. Set aside to rest, 2-3 min.
- Meanwhile, add ciabatta slices and nectarines to the other side of the grill. Close lid and grill until ciabatta is crisp and grill-marks form on nectarines, 2-3 min per side.
- Transfer grilled ciabatta slices and nectarines back to the same plate to cool slightly.
- Cut or tear cooled ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut each nectarine section into 1/4-inch slices.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Add nectarine pieces, tomatoes, spinach and half the ciabatta croutons, then toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad and chicken between plates.
- Spoon any remaining pesto from the plate over chicken.
- Sprinkle remaining ciabatta croutons over salad.
