Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Serve with fresh basil and chilli flakes, if desired.
