How to make it

  1. 1

    Start by slicing your chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Season them generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add just a drizzle of olive oil if you like. Cook the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, this takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside for a moment.

  3. 3

    Now, in the same skillet, add your halved cherry tomatoes. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and burst open.

  4. 4

    Stir in the rinsed cannellini beans, the fresh spinach, and the beautiful zest from your lemon. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has happily wilted down.

  5. 5

    Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Squeeze in all that lovely fresh lemon juice. Give everything a gentle toss to combine and warm through. Serve this delicious meal immediately and enjoy!
