Turn the temperature down to 400F and cook for ten minutes. Remove chicken from oven and let cool.

Shred the chicken breast and toss it with excesss juice at the bottom of the pan.

Slice baguette and spread the bottom with Frog Hollow’s Asian Pear chutney. Lay chicken breast on top of chutney and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Serve.
