Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:31:35 GMT

Step 1

Slice the Chicken Breasts in half to make six steaks of equal size and place them into a bowl.

Step 2

Pour in 2 tablespoons of Rapeseed oil and coat all the chicken in the oil, set aside and wash your hands.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into wedges then wash and dry them and add to a bowl, add in one tablespoon of vegetable oil and coat the wedges, then set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl add all the Cajun spice mix ingredients and mix until combined. Remove one tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning and set aside.

Step 5

Add one of the oil-coated chicken slices and completely coat in the Cajun seasoning, tap off the excess and rest on a plate, repeat until all the chicken slices have been coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle a teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning over the wedges and toss in the bowl, to evenly coat the wedges. Add more seasoning if desired. Open your air fryer and spray the cooking surface with oil and add in the wedges. Cook at 200 degrees for 20 minutes occasionally mixing to ensure even cooking of the wedges.

Step 7

Heat a large sauté pan (frying pan or skillet ) on a medium heat. Add two tablespoons of Vegetable Oil and 30g of butter.

Step 8

Once the butter has melted stir the pan and add in the chicken slices, cook on both sides for around 3/4 minutes per side. Once the chicken has cooked, remove it from the pan and rest on a lined baking tray or in a bowl.

Step 9

In the same pan the chicken was cooked in pour in approximately 50ml of the chicken stock and deglaze the pan, (at this point it would be wise to remove large pieces of burnt spices that may have been left behind from cooking the chicken) Once the pan has been deglazed add in the remaining butter and melt, add in the chopped garlic and cook for about a minute continuously stirring to prevent the garlic from burning, after the minute pour in the remaining chicken stock and stir, then allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for two to three minutes.

Step 10

Once the sauce has reduced and thickened add the chicken back into the pan and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes turning the chicken occasionally.

Step 11

Time to plate up.

Step 12

Add wedges to a plate, now add two of the chicken slices. Add salad onto the plate and drizzle the chicken with some of the sauce.

Step 13

Lick your lips and enjoy.
