Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F, 170°C fan). Halve the mini baguettes lengthwise and scoop out some of the soft interior to create a boat shape. Cook the chicken breast, then shred or dice it into small pieces. Dice the bell pepper and red onion finely.
Prepare Filling
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the bell pepper and corn, then cook for another 5 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken, pizza sauce, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cook for 2-3 more minutes to let the flavors meld.
Assemble & Bake
Place the hollowed-out baguette boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling evenly into the boats. Sprinkle generously with grated mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately!
Extra Tips
► Use pre-cooked or leftover chicken for an even faster preparation.
► Vary the toppings as you like: mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños also work great.
► Lightly toast the inside of the baguettes before baking for an extra crispy base.
