    Creamy Chicken with Spinach and Dolcelatte

    This deliciously simple supper dish is cooked in one pan. It is ideal for teaming with griddled polenta to soak up the creamy cheese sauce.

    Serves: 6

    Ingredients

    • 1kg pack Waitrose British Chicken Thigh Fillets
    • 3 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
    • 1 bunch salad onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
    • 200ml tub half fat crème fraîche
    • 170g pack Galbani Dolcelatte Classico, cut into small pieces
    • 250g bag fresh spinach
    • Freshly grated nutmeg

    Method

    1. Cut each thigh fillet into quarters. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add half the chicken and fry quickly for about 5 minutes, until pale golden. Drain, then fry the remainder.
    2. Return all the chicken to the pan with the white parts of the salad onions (reserving the chopped green parts) and plenty of black pepper. Fry gently for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
    3. Stir in the crème fraîche and scatter over the cheese. Add the spinach, a handful at a time, together with the green onion tops, and stir. Allow the spinach to wilt and the sauce to warm through, developing a creamy consistency.
    4. Sprinkle with a little freshly grated nutmeg and serve immediately with griddled polenta pieces (see Cook’s tip), macaroni or rice.
