- After second side has been cooked, add the wine, garlic, and herbs and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and allow it to rest.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Serve the chicken with Potato-Vegetable Hash and the pan sauce. Garnish with chives.
Potato Vegetable Hash
- Using a box grater, shred the potato, zucchini and squash, and add them to a large bowl.
- Stir in the onion, egg, flour, garlic, herbs, and Cajun spice. Blend well. Add more flour if mixture is too wet. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil.
- Portion the hash into 2 cakes, then gently put them in the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is browned.
- Remove them from the pan to a paper towel and season with salt, to taste. Serve warm.
