Cooking Steps
- Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear 8–10 minutes until golden outside and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- To the same pan, add garlic, tomato purée, paprika oregano and a splash of water. Stir to create a paste and cook 2–3 minutes until the tomato purée deepens.
- Stir in the butter beans with their liquid and the sundried tomatoes. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Slice the chicken and return it to the pan. Stir through the cream or cream fraiche (add a splash of water to loosen, if it’s the latter), parmesan, and spinach. Let everything warm together for 2–3 minutes, letting the spinach wilt.
- Season with black pepper, taste for salt, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with rice or crusty bread.
