• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Slice pear into thin wedges. Roughly chop tomato.
• Cut or tear wholemeal panini into bite-sized chunks, then place on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until golden, 5-7 minutes. • Transfer croutons to a large bowl. Set aside.
• While the croutons are baking, combine the salt, plain flour, herb & mushroom seasoning and a pinch of pepper in a large bowl. • Add boneless chicken drumsticks and turn to coat. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook pear, tossing, until softened, 3-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the honey and mix well. Cook until reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken until browned, 2 minutes each side. • Transfer chicken to the oven tray and bake until cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Meanwhile, to the bowl of croutons, add mixed salad leaves, tomato, caramelised pear (along with any glaze) and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
