Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken fillets small
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 shallots finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, plus extra to serve
  • 1/3 cup parsley leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken fillets, garlic powder, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl and mix well.
    4 chicken fillets, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, pinch sea salt, 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Place a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and half the butter and heat for 30 seconds. Add the chicken fillets and cook each side for about 5–6 minutes. If the chicken starts to burn on the outside, turn the heat down to low. Remove the chicken and place on a plate.
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons butter, 4 chicken fillets
  • To the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining butter. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Then add the flour and stir through for 2–3 minutes so the flour cooks out. Add the chicken stock and cream and whisk for a couple of minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir through the spinach and parmesan.
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 shallots, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon plain flour, 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1 cup thickened cream, 2 cups baby spinach, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • Place the chicken fillets back into the pan, and push them down so most of the fillets are submerged in the sauce. Turn the heat down to low and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Add some extra parmesan and chopped parsley. Season well.
    4 chicken fillets, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup parsley leaves
  • Serve on pasta or mashed potato with a side of green beans or a crunchy green salad.
