Method

step 1

Season the chicken well with salt, pepper and the oregano.
step 2

Heat the oil and butter in a shallow pan. Cook the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side until golden (you are just searing at this point not trying to cook all the way through). Lift out the chicken onto a plate.
step 3

Peel the onion then peel away the first layer. Grate on the rough side of a grater. Add to the pan with the garlic and cook gently for 5 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and stock, and bring to a simmer.
step 4

Add back the chicken, cover and cook gently for 10 mins. Stir in the spinach until wilted then stir in the cream and parmesan. Bubble everything for a couple of minutes then serve with rice, pasta or mash, and a salad.
