This perfect picnic food is a delicious combination of shaved chicken breast, cheese and assorted greens in crusty cob loaf.
Ingredients
- 1 x 375g pkt Bake it Crusty cob loaf (Bake at Home brand)
- 85g (1/3 cup) sweet corn relish (Wattle Valley brand)
- 80g cos lettuce leaves or 2 baby cos lettuce, washed, dried, chopped
- 80g snow pea sprouts, cut in half
- 80ml (1/3 cup) ranch dressing (Newman's Own brand)
- 1 x 100g pkt 97 per cent fat-free lite shaved roast chicken breast (Primo brand)
- 10 slices cheddar cheese
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 220°C. Bake bread in preheated oven following packet directions for 10 minutes or until brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and set aside for 1 hour to cool completely.
- Step 2Use a serrated knife to cut the top third off the cob loaf and reserve. Scoop out the soft centre, leaving a 2cm-thick shell.
- Step 3Spread relish evenly over the inside of the loaf shell and lid.
- Step 4Layer half the lettuce and snow pea sprouts in the loaf shell. Drizzle with half the dressing and top with half the chicken and cheese, pressing down firmly between layers. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place the lid on top and press down firmly to compress the filling.
- Step 5Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Transfer to a plate and then top with another plate. Place a heavy object on top to compress the filling. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight for the flavours to develop and the filling to settle. Cut into wedges.

Notes
Note: you will need 1 hour cooling time & 4 hours pressing time for this recipe. Tip: This is a great recipe to make the night before. Wrap each wedge firmly in plastic wrap for lunch boxes or a picnic. Tip: You can substitute shaved ham or pastrami for the chicken; avocado spread for the sweet corn relish; and baby spinach leaves or chopped iceberg lettuce for the cos lettuce, if desired.
