Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cook chicken in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Combine chicken, cilantro, and red pepper in a bowl; set aside.
  2. Slice bread in half lengthwise; place bread, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 1 minute or until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and set aside.
  3. Combine tomato sauce and pesto sauce; stir well, and spread evenly over cut side of bread halves.
  4. Top with tomato slices and chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheeses. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut each bread half into 4 pieces.
