Method

Place a griddle pan on a high heat. Use a sharp knife to slice into the chicken breasts, then open each one out like a book. Griddle for 2-3 mins on each side, or until cooked through.
Thinly slice the courgettes lengthways, deseed and quarter the peppers, then griddle for 2 mins on each side – I like to do this in batches. Remove to a plate with the chicken, season with sea salt and black pepper, then halve the lemon and add a squeeze of juice, and a drizzle of oil.
Peel, destone and finely slice the avocado; squeeze over a little more lemon juice to stop it browning. Wash and finely slice the lettuce. Carefully slice off the top of the loaf to make a lid, then pull out all the soft bread from the middle (see tip, below).
Now it's time to build your layers: start with a base layer of courgettes, followed by the peppers, chicken, avocado and finally the lettuce.
Pop the bread lid back on and wrap in clingfilm to hold it all together. Pop it in the fridge, place a baking tray on top and weigh it down with a few tins. Leave to chill for 2 hrs.
To make the dipping sauce, finely grate the zest of the remaining lemon half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Pick and finely chop the parsley, add to the bowl and stir through the yogurt. Finely grate in the Parmesan, mix well and season to taste. Cover and chill until needed.
Slice the stuffed loaf into 6 chunks and serve with the dipping sauce.

Jamie's tip: "To use up the leftover bread, blitz in a food processor to fine crumbs and freeze for whenever a recipe calls for breadcrumbs. Easy!"
