- Turn off the heat and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Melt half of the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breast for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the courgette.
- Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium, then add the African-inspired spices, the courgette and the onion.
