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.

We enjoyed this. I sautéed shallots after cooking the chicken and added a can of chickpeas to increase the fiber. Be sure not to cook the chicken too long.
This was quick to prepare and cook but I found it a bit bland and would spice it up considerably if I decided to cook it again.
Tastes nice but I find it a bit too watery?!
Loved this meal, it was very soothing on the tummy and an excellent mid week meal. We will probably season the chicken more with chilli or something for a bit more spice
Very good, will most definitely make again!
Very nice and better still simple. Thank you.
I’ve cooked this dish a few times now. Love it!
Easy and tasty. Would definitely make again
Loved this. I substituted miso paste for nutritional yeast as I couldn’t get any. Also added mushrooms which gave it a lovely earthy taste. I served it with mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delicious!
It was very tasty, and very quick to make! For me, personally, I might use a little less stock so the sauce can be a little thicker next time.
This was amazing I loved it.
DELICIOUS! The technique to cook the sauce was new to me. It was really easy and tasty.
Delish !!
Very tasty! I loved this recipe!
Very tasty! I loved this recipe!
Tasty - quick and simple
Great dish. Easy, one pan and delicious
Absolutely loved this, so tasty!
I also asked if I could use already cooked chicken and received your reply, such a good service…so that’s what I’m having for tea again tonight…thank you!
Lovely. Quick to cook
Absolutely delicious and easy to make. I plan to make this often!! I’ll likely add a base to it, polenta, rice or gluten free pasta to stretch it for more than one night
Delicious!
Really enjoyed. My husband and son liked it which meant alot they are fussy eatters
Very good. Subbed boneless chicken thighs cut horizontally as able and or needed. Used baby kale i lieu of spinach. Served over rice. Next time trying tricolor quinoa. Yes to chili flakes. SO GOOD!
Excellent. Added the chilli flakes really spiced it up perfectly
I didn’t have enough spinach, but use what I had next time. I’ll make sure I have the full amount. We enjoyed the dish, but agreed that we would spice it up a little more next time
I added harissa and other vegetables As well as some chopped up apricots. Served with brown rice and topped with some pistachios. More Moroccan 👍🏽
Definitely needs less liquid. Not as much flavour as I was expecting, but I’ll give it another go.
Very rich
Delicious and easy to make! The kids loved it, which make it a big winner!
This is one we have made a few times really easy and tasty, use a little less liquid if you prefer it thicker.
I didn’t add the chilli as I am not a fan of heat. It didn’t have much flavour, so I won’t put in so much stock next time. I did make the recipe for 4 though, so doubling ingredients is sometimes too much.
The taste was excellent. Be mindful of your liquids.
This recipe came up on a day that my husband was on duty to cook dinner. He fantastic at following a recipe, but did not necessarily think to adjust as he went. It was quite soupy lol
Very fast to cook and nice taste, but i did use a little less stock.
Throughly enjoyed this recipe, very easy. Will definitely cook again.
Really tasty. It would've got a 5 if the sauce had felt just a bit thicker and more luxurious. And next time I think I'll use fresh veg rather than frozen, but otherwise really good.
Loved it.
Very tasty dish, super easy and quick to make
Loved this, absolutely delicious!
I added spring onion & chilli flakes which was great. Think I'd reduce the sauce a bit before adding veg & chicken back in next time, but I used fresh steamed brocoli rather than frozen just because it was what I had.
I'd not of thought to use Nutritional Yeast in a recipe like that - it was really yummy!
Quick & easy, thanks Doc!
Very quick recipe, tasty and had quite a bit of variation possible.
An excellent weekly dish
It's nice. I added Quinoa, Onions and Veggie broth.
Great recipe whole family loved it will be making it again 😁
So tasty and very quick to make as I used leftover roast chicken. I used parmesan switch instead of yeast and it was delicious - I'll definitely be making it again soon, thankyou!
Less chicken stock to make the sauce thicker, and also more aromatics like onion and garlic when cooking the chicken. Other than that it was good!
Really good. I doubled the gochujang for more flavour and doubled the stock for more sauce. Will definitely make again in regular rotation.
The flavors were perfect didn’t need anything else didn’t add the chilies but think I will next time
Wonderfull! I used left over veggies instead of frozen ones. Loved it.
Really easy and extremely tasty. As with others, we didn’t use all the stock. We added more chicken for two people.
Loved it AND so did my fussy husband
I used leftover roast chicken, tomato paste and Parmesan cheese so definitely make it again using exactly recipe - it's on my favourite list for a quick after work or weekend meal ....thankyou 🤩
Deliciously easy and tasty. Substituted chicken breast with leftover roast chicken.
This is an amazingly tasty and so easy to make dish. I added chia and sunflower seeds and jalapenos for the kick and it was banging!!
I took note of the other comments and used only half the stock. I served it with a sachet of mixed grains. Itwas ideal. Great quick meal.
