Cajun chicken with seasonal greens

.





Per person:


Use a meat tenderiser to pummel one large chicken breast each side to flatten. This will both tenderise the chicken and it will take less cooking time. Sprinkle freshly ground sea salt on one side of the chicken breast. Turn over and spread 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning evenly over the breaat. Sprinkle with turmeric powder.


Top and tail 2 long stringless runner beans. Rinse and cut each into 4 pieces.


Top and tail 6 sugarsnap peas. Rinse and pat dry.


Remove the large leaves from a pointed cabbage until you get to smaller leaves then rinse 2 leaves to use in this meal. Leave them whole.


Heat 2tbsp oil in a frying pan on highest heat. After a minute slide the chicken breast into the oil sea salted side down into the middle of the pan and leave for 4 minutes.


Turn the breast over. Add 1 tsp butter. Place the sugar snap peas, stringless beans and then fold the whole cabbage leaves in half and lay the greens around the edges of the pan. Add a lid and  cook for 2 minutes. Halve 6 cherry tomatoes and add to the pan. Turn the greens once and cook for a further 4 minutes.


Serve on a bed of freshly rinsed and dried spinach leaves and juices from the pan.
