Preparation
Start the chicken & vegetables
- Halve the tomatoes. In a small bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the chicken and ⅔ of the tomatoes. Cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min. per side, until the chicken is partially cooked.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.
Finish the chicken & vegetables
- To the pan, add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the cream, demi-glace, ½ the vinegar, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. (10 to 12 min. for 4 portions), until the sauce has thickened and the chicken* is cooked through.
- Add ½ the spinach. Cover and cook, 1 to 2 min., until wilted; season with S&P.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining vinegar and spices, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the carrots, ½ the parsley, and the remaining spinach and tomatoes; toss well.
Plate your dish
