A side of sourdough bread and, voila! The perfect autumn meal in your ABI.

It’s beauty really lies in its simplicity and, with its crusty edges and side of veggies, life really can’t get much better. And a little trick for you, for an extra crispy finish just sprinkle some cheese before popping it in the grill for a few extra minutes!

Note: we definitely think grilled chicken wins best topping!
