Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside onto a tray or large plate. It will finish cooking later.
Return the pan to the heat. Add the garlic, oregano, nutritional yeast, sundried tomato paste, coconut milk and stock. Cook for 3-4 minutes scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until darkened and fragrant.
Add the spinach and frozen vegetables. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the vegetables are heated through. Then return the chicken to the pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are tender.
Serve with fresh basil and chilli flakes, if desired.

Whole family enjoyed it🙌Easy to prepare. Will definitely make again.
Love it and the family too
It was good, but I added hot chili oil into order more flavor.
Fantastic recipe. Quick and easy to make. My husband loved it. 😁
Easy to make. I like chicken with ingredients like these because they contribute flavor and keep the chicken moist. Instead of mixed vegetables, I used a roasted vegetable mix from Costco. Added additional flavor. Good amount of protein combined with vegetables.
Best meal I have ever had!
Really enjoyed this one. Sauce was full of flavour and it was so easy to make.
Nice. Very saucy with loads of vegetables.
Quick and cheap. Inoffensive but pretty bland.
This was tasty, I cooked it down for a while longer than suggested to thicken up the sauce and also added some cherry tomatoes we had from the garden.
Delicious. I have a glut of runner beans so used these instead. Worked well.
Lovely flavoursome dish, and incredibly easy to throw together!
Super quick and utterly delicious! An easily modifiable recipe to use up any veg leftovers. This will definitely be made in repeat.
Easy to make & easy to source ingredients. Tastes good as is or you could add your own flair some red wine vinegar
Great flavour and texture, had it with wholewheat pasta, was so delicious, I’ll be making it for guests.
Lovely dish, I didn’t have any frozen veg so steamed broccoli and add at the end with fresh coriander, great flexible dish!
Delicious, quick and tasty . Used soy milk instead of coconut milk with chopped sun-dried tomatoes
Really loved this one. Quick and easy to make but with a great depth of flavour .
Really easy and tasty dish to make. Will sure make it again as my wife enjoyed it so much
Recipe worked perfectly
I put the chilli flakes in as part of the cooking process rather than garnish. Might use fresh chilli next time.
Used boneless skinless chicken thighs which I browned for longer and used more garlic. It was very tasty and succulent. Went down well with my family.
Super easy and quick post swim
So easy quick and tasty
Works better with the chilli flakes as suggested
Another tasty recipe!! I didn't have full amount of spinach so added in some chopped courgette to make up for it. This worked really well but obviously changed the nutrient values slightly. The dish was a big success though - never used nutritional yeast before either.
Very runny - I made the recipe for 4 and used parmesan as suggested. It was very tasty but more like a soup than a stew - I feel the amount of water is much too much.
Best one so far!
Really delicious recipe .... another variation I tried was to add a bag of frozen roasted veg (I did oven roast them first for extra flavour). Garnished with watercress!
