Ingredients

2 chicken fillets 300 grams/11 ounces
½ teaspoon Chilli Flakes Note 1
1 teaspoon Onion Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
½ teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon Thyme
2 tablespoons Wholemeal Breadcrumbs
6 medium Button mushrooms cut into chunks
1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
Handful of baby spinach leaves
1 clove of Garlic crushed
1 teaspoon Butter

Instructions

Heat oven to 180 degrees/350 F.
Prepare the spice mix. Place all spices and breadcrumbs in a small dish and stir with a spoon to combine.
Flatten out the chicken fillets. Place each fillet between 2 sheets of baking paper and use the heel of your hand to push down. Keep gently pushing down on chicken piece, one at a time until it is about 1cm thick
Using your hands, rub the spice mix all over the chicken fillets
Place the chicken pieces in a backing tray and bake for 20 minutes.
When the chicken has a few minutes to go start preparing the side. Heat a pan on medium heat on the stovetop. Add garlic and butter, followed by chopped mushrooms, cherry tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute, then add the spinach leaves and toss for 30 seconds.
Remove chicken from oven once done, and plate up with the garlic mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach. Serve and enjoy straight away.

Notes

This amount of chilli produces what I would call a mild to light medium amount of hotness. If you can tolerate medium Thai or Indian curries, this will be fine. Otherwise, dial back the chilli flakes to a quarter of a teaspoon, keeping all the other spices the same.
