Method

0 of 8 done

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Season the chicken breast with onion powder, salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add finely chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Return the chicken to the pan. Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the chicken breast.
Top with grated Cheddar cheese. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your deliciously smothered chicken dish! Top with a pinch of fresh thyme for finesse.
