Peanut Butter & Peppers
- Yield: 10 cups
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 9-ounce loaf French bread baguette
- 3tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4cups cherry tomatoes
- 8ounces mozzarella balls
- 6ounces chicken, cooked, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1bunch basil leaves
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut bread in half horizontally. With a pastry brush, brush 2 tablespoons olive oil on both sides of the bread. Cut the bread into bite size pieces and place on a baking sheet. Bake in oven for 8 -10 minutes until golden, flipping a couple of times. Let the bread cool.
- Meanwhile in a bowl, add tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken, basil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until combined. Toss in bread. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Note: I added the balsamic glaze directly to the served salad to prevent the salad from getting soggy. The salad is good the next day too.
