Creamy Spinach Chicken : So Delicious and Low in Carbs
Perfect for a midweek or any-day dinner; cook your chicken breasts until tender in a thick, creamy sauce. Adding fresh baby spinach and zingy lemon juice just ups the flavour, why not try it and see!
Serves Four
100g drained sundried tomatoes, sliced lengthways, plus 1 tbsp oil from the jar
600g chicken breast fillets
5 tsp cornflour
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
½ chicken stock cube, made up to 100ml
250g baby spinach
½ lemon, juiced
150ml single cream
Method
1. Put the sundried tomatoes in a small, heatproof bowl and cover with 200ml boiling water; set aside.
2. Lay the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of clingfilm and use a rolling pin to gently bash the thickest parts to flatten them a little, so the breasts are an even thickness. Season with salt and lightly coat with 4 tsp cornflour. Heat the sundried tomato oil in a large, deep, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the chicken breasts, without turning, for 4-6 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion and garlic and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened; add a splash of water if it starts to catch. Add the stock and sundried tomatoes
4. Mix 1 tsp cornflour with 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Stir the cornflour mixture, lemon juice and cream into the pan and simmer for 2 mins until thickened. Return the chicken to the pan, stir through the spinach until wilted, cover and cook for 2-3 mins more until the chicken is warmed through, then serve.

Yes, I agree - the autumn inspired bowl is a pleasure to see (agree, see -it's rhyming).
The chicken dish is also a pleasure to see, and ..eat. The chicken breasts in a creamy sauce with added lemon juice - sounds delicious!
Your creamed chicken with spinach sure must be good! The addition of sundried tomatoes makes it a hit to me! Happy Autumn days to you and yours.
...chicken is a favorite of mine.
Chicken is so versatile...

So creamy and tasty...I adore that sauce.
Chicken base dishes are our favourite. I haven't tried chicken and baby combination before. Recipe is so new and ingredients are very rich. Looks hearty and healthy. Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
The chicken recipe sounds and looks delicious. I would like both the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Thanks for sharing! Take care, have a happy day!
A nice change of pace from the usual broil or baked chicken
I like chicken, and this'll provide a nice change. Thanks! I need to add sun-dried tomatoes to the grocery list...
YUM! Love this recipe and thank you for sharing. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
There's so much you can do with chicken.
I can already smell it.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Ohhhh this looks so good.
I have made a similar, and quite possibly the same recipe, a couple of months ago, Jan. It was a great one-pan meal as well and now that I see this recipe, I am reminded to redo it and quite possibly add some fresh mushrooms the next time.
Looks so good Jan! Thank you! Big Hugs!
Looks so very good.
This looks delicious! I like sun-dried tomatoes and always have a jar of them in my refrigerator, They add a lot of flavor
This looks delicious!
This does look so tasty!
Chicken is a favourite around here, and the recipe with sun dried tomatoes looks so delicious. What a pretty autumn bowl!
my kids want chicken everyday almost whether as separate various dishes or cooked with rice which we call plao or biryani here .but me and hubby try hard to provide them with different type of foods and specially attract them towards seasonal veggies .
i liked the recipe a lot ,term sundried tomatoes was unfamiliar but after googling i knew it is tomatoes dried under sun :)
Yummy.
Yum...
this chicken dish looks very delicious. I almost wish I had it here. :)
I love raw spinach but never have been able to eat cooked spinach
We make a chicken casserole quite similar to this and it is delicious. Quick and easy too!
I would love this for dinner tonight. We are experiencing chilly weather now. That would go well with the weather.
Se ve muy bien. Besos.
