Sherry and almond Chicken Breast Shakshuka

This Spanish Shakshuka leans on sherry and almond to do the heavy lifting. We sear the Chicken Breast for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the sherry and almond elements, and pat the chicken breast dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the chicken breast. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.

Stir in the saffron and the rest of the sherry and almond flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
