Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Drain the tinned cherry tomatoes (see ingredients). Slice the red onion (see ingredients) into 1cm wedges. Place the tomatoes and onion on an oven tray lined with baking paper and toss with the balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and pepper and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Roast until tender and caramelised, 15-20 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Cook the potato in the saucepan of boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return the potato to the saucepan, then add the butter, milk and the salt. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover with to keep warm.
While the potato is cooking, finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Pick the thyme leaves. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
In a large bowl, combine the rustic herb spice blend (see ingredients), brown sugar and a good drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Heat a large frying over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, in batches, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate. Add the garlic and thyme to the empty pan and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat. Cover with a lid to keep warm. Set aside. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.
In a second large bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves and cucumber. Just before serving, add the Italian dressing (see ingredients) and toss to coat.
Divide the mash between plates, then top with the rustic herb chicken and roasted veggies. Spoon over any juices from the tray. Top with the creamy pesto dressing.
