Method

  • step 1

    Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20-25 mins until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until melted, then fry the onion for 10 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, fry for a minute more, then add the chicken and fry for 5 mins until lightly golden.

  • step 2

    Pour in the wine, bring to a simmer and reduce until halved. Stir in 250ml of the crème fraîche. Cook for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  • step 3

    Drain the potatoes, leave to steam dry for 1 min, then mash with the 50g butter, remaining crème fraîche and some seasoning, until smooth. Stir the herbs and spinach through the chicken and cook for a minute or so until the spinach wilts. Add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Serve spooned over the creamy mash.

Really tasty dish. I would also recommend cooking the chicken separately first and then adding it. Big hit with the family!

I think better to cook the chicken through separately and add to the pan later as this method makes it a little chewy.

question

Can this be made a day in advance and reheated?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes it could be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Reheat until piping hot. If the sauce is a bit thick when reheating, you can add a splash of chicken stock or water to the sauce if needed. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Absolutely delicious, we all enjoyed this, used butter instead of flora (sorry) because that is what I had. Had looked for a recipe to use up half a bag of spinach and some chicken breasts I had in the fridge, just popped out for some creme fraiche. Will definitely cook this again.
