Ingredients

4 small chicken breasts
6 cups fresh spinach
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons cumin powder
1/4 cup (60ml) chicken stock
1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Smoky Chipotle Harissa (to taste)
Lemon slices and fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine smoked paprika, cumin powder, chicken stock, 1/4 cup lemon juice, onion powder, oregano, half of the minced garlic, chili flakes, olive oil, and Smoky Chipotle Harissa to taste. Adjust salt and lemon juice as needed. Coat chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Spinach

Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach, season with salt, pepper, and optional red chilli flakes. Add remaining minced garlic and sauté spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Chicken

Rinse skillet and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74ºC). Remove chicken and let rest.

Make the Sauce

Deglaze skillet with chicken stock, add reserved marinade, and cook over medium heat until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve

Divide spinach among plates, top with sliced chicken breasts, and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with lemon slices, parsley, and optionally grated Parmesan cheese
