Method
Directions
Prepare the Herb and Garlic Oil
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with the herb and garlic oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the chicken mixture in an even layer in a baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and drizzle with pesto sauce before serving. Enjoy your Rustica!
