Cooking Time!

1. Preheat the oven to 200C. 
2. Cut the chicken fillets into 2cm thick pieces. 
3. Brown the chicken in a frying pan with about 1/2 tbsp of oil.
4. Cut the squash into 2mm pieces, either with a knife or a mandolin. 
5. Lightly saute the squash with a little oil until lightly golden. If necessary, pat down with a paper towel to remove excess oil. 
6. Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into thin slices. 
7. Pour the tomato sauce into a shallow oven dish. 
8. Evenly distribute the tomato and mozzarella into the oven dish. 
9. Layer the tomato and squash on top, either alternatively or whatever pattern you like. 
10. Scatter with parmesan. 
11. Bake in the oven for approximately 25 minutes. If at this point the parmesan is not golden, you can turn on the grill for a couple of minutes.
