ONE PAN CREAMY GARLIC CHICKEN

Deliciousness is one pan!!!! The simple sauce is so creamy and the chicken is very succulent. Mild enough for the whole family - you’ll LOVE it!!!!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• Pinch sea salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 2 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil

• 4 small chicken fillets

• 2 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil (split)

• 2 tbsp butter (split)

• 2 shallots, finely sliced

• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp plain flour

• 1/2 cup chicken stock

• 1 cup thickened cream

• 2 cups spinach

• 1/2 cup fresh parmesan, grated

• 1/3 cup parsley, finely chopped

• Sea salt

• Black pepper

Method:

1. Mix together chicken fillets with garlic powder, salt, pepper and olive oil.

2. Preheat a large frying pan on medium/high heat. Add olive oil and butter and heat for 30 seconds. Add chicken fillets and cook each side for approx 5-6 minutes. If the chicken starts to burn on the outside, turn the heat down to low. Remove chicken and place on a plate.

3. To the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and butter. Add shallots and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 mins. Then add the plain flour and stir through for 2-3 minutes so the flour cooks. Add the chicken stock and cream and whisk for a couple of minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the spinach and fresh parmesan and stir through.

4. Place the chicken fillets back into the pan, and push them down so most of the fillet is submerged in the sauce. Turn the heat down to low and cook for approx 5 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through). Add some extra parmesan and chopped parsley. Season well.

Serve on pasta or mashed potato with a side of green beans or a crunchy green salad.
