Directions

For The Pan Seared Chicken 

1. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large saucepan and pour in a little oil. Keep the flame high.
3. Sear the skin side of the breast for 4 to 5 minutes on a high flame. Flip the side and cook on medium heat for another 7 to 8 minutes covering the chicken with a lid.
4. Once the chicken is cooked on the second side, add wine, garlic and the herbs. Cook until the liquid reduces to about half the original amount.
5. On another pan, sauté one cubed tomato for about 2 mins and spread on the serving plate.
6. When the chicken is done, it can be allowed to rest on the serving plate on the bed of sautéed tomatoes. You can slice the chicken into slices too.
7. After the pan has cooled a bit, add butter to the juice remaining in the pan. Pour the pan sauce on to the chicken and tomato bed.

For The Potato Hash

1. Using a grater, shred squash, zucchini and potato and shift the grated mixture in a large bowl.
2. Whisk in the egg, onion, herbs, garlic, flour, and cajun spice.
3. The resulting mixture should be stiff enough to hold shape. If not,  you can add more flour.
4. Sculpt two cakes out of the mixture and pan fry them in a large saucepan using some oil.
5. Once a golden brown color has been achieved flip the side and cook again.
6. Carefully take the cakes off the pan and soak the extra oil using a paper napkin.
7. Place besides the chicken and sauce on the serving plate.
8. Garnish with your favourite greens.
