Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch dice
2 small eggplants, cut into 1-inch dice
15 baby red and yellow bell peppers
Zest of 2 oranges
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Salt and pepper
Red pepper flakes, for sprinkling
2 pounds fresh mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes
Pesto, for topping

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a bowl. Put the eggplant cubes in a separate bowl and add the peppers.
