Ingredients
1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets (about 5 oz each)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2.1 oz of drained and roughly chopped semi-dried tomatoes
7 oz of thinly sliced mushrooms
1 can (12 fl oz) of creamy evaporated milk
2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
3.5 oz of baby spinach leaves
1.3 lb of baby chat potatoes, boiled or steamed, to serve
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Add garlic, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
- Stir in evaporated milk and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it gently boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Add spinach and stir over heat until wilted.
- Return the chicken to the pan with any juices from the plate. Turn chicken to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until hot.
- Serve with boiled baby potatoes.
