Cooking instructions

Cooking Mode turns the method into large, slide-by-slide instructions with timers, read-aloud, screen-awake and optional voice controls.

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Slice the baguette rolls lengthways. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the smoked sausage and, if needed, cut the chicken breast into thinner pieces. Have the pesto and rocket ready, then season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken & sausage

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the pan.

  3. 3

    Prepare the bread

    Lightly toast the cut sides of the baguette rolls if you like, then spread a generous layer of basil pesto over both halves.

  4. 4

    Add chicken, sausage & tomatoes

    Layer the cooked chicken over the bottom halves of the rolls. Add the browned smoked sausage and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired and season lightly.

  5. 5

    Add rocket

    Add a generous handful of fresh rocket leaves to each sandwich and press down gently so the filling sits neatly.

  6. 6

    Finish & serve

    Top with the remaining halves of the rolls, press lightly and slice if desired. Serve immediately while the chicken and sausage are still warm.

Check before cooking

Allergens and dietary notes

Gluten

For this recipe: Contains gluten from the bread. Pesto commonly contains milk and tree nuts, so check the exact pesto label. Smoked sausage may also contain additional allergens depending on the brand.

Useful substitutions

Use good-quality smoked pork sausage commonly available from Big C, Lotus’s or Makro. If ciabatta or baguettes are unavailable, use crusty sandwich rolls. Rocket can be replaced with baby spinach or crisp lettuce. Choose a nut-free or dairy-free pesto if required.

Storage and reheating⌄

Storage

For best results, store the cooked chicken and sausage separately in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the bread, pesto, tomatoes and rocket separate and assemble just before serving.

Reheating

Reheat the chicken and sausage in a frying pan or microwave until piping hot throughout, then assemble with fresh bread, pesto, tomatoes and rocket. Do not reheat the assembled sandwich.
