- For the scarlet runner bean ragout, sweat the diced onion and garlic in sunflower oil, add the diced tomatoes and fry briefly. Deglaze with the tomato vinegar and pour in the sieved tomatoes. Add the bay leaf, season with salt and leave to simmer for a few minutes. Finally, add the scarlet runner beans and chopped herbs.
- Slice the cooled polenta into rectangles (according to the size of the chicken breasts) and place in a greased oven dish.
- Season the chicken breasts with herbal salt and pepper. Fry briefly on both sides in olive oil until golden brown, remove and cut into slices. Then place all of the chicken breast pieces onto the prepared polenta slices. Spread with pumpkin seed pesto, cover with bacon and mozzarella and bake at 200 °C top heat until crispy. While they are cooking, fry the cocktail tomatoes.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts in half, lengthways. Serve with the scarlet runner bean ragout and garnish with the cocktail tomatoes.
