Cajun chicken breast with ratatouille and Greek salad

Our fab new griddle (on the new oven) came into play again, last night, as Warren coated a couple of Willow Farm chicken breasts with cajun spices (perhaps a little over-generously!!) and griddled them before finishing off in the oven.  Unfortunately, the dry and spicy smoke that came off it caused us both to cough a lot and we had to open all doors and windows and put the griddle pan in a bowl of cold water to calm it down!!!

Anyway ... it tasted delicious (if a little hot!) and made a wonderful meal sliced on top of a simple ratatouille (pan-fried onions, carrots, celery, courgettes, aubergine, peppers, mushrooms and tomato puree) and accompanied by a little Greek salad on the side.  We also topped the chicken with a dollop or two of soured cream, just to take the edge off the spicy heat a little ... PHEW!
