  • Slice through the chicken from the side and make some small fillets.

  • Place a medium size saucepan on the stove top and drizzle some xvoo on top.
  • Once it heat up, add the chicken piece by piece.
  • Once the bottom of each piece starts to brown, turn it over to cock the other side you will need to do this a few times, so that the chicken cooks through. You can turn them using a pair of tongs.
  • The flour will create a nice cream.
  • Get 2 cloves of garlic, squash them using you hands and add them in, along with some salt, pepper and rosemary. Mix well.

  • Squeeze a lemon over the top.
  • After about 5 minutes remove the rosemary and place the chicken on a plate.
  • Using the same saucepan, add a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and then throw the baby spinach in it.
