Preparation

Cut one lemon into thin slices. Grate rind and squeeze juice of remaining lemon. Place 2 or 3 lemon slices with 2 sprigs of thyme beneath skin of each chicken breast.

Heat a lightly oiled, non-stick frying pan on medium. Cook chicken, skin side down first, for 5 minutes each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken
and set aside. Add wine to pan and bring to boil, stirring to pick up crusty pieces from base of pan. Season to taste.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions. Drain, return to pan with lemon thyme leaves, lemon rind and juice and baby spinach. Toss on high heat to warm through.

Serve chicken with spaghetti and drizzle with pan sauce.

Hot Tips

Salting an eggplant

Salting an eggplant is only necessary if the eggplant is over-mature and is to be fried (salting the eggplant stops it absorbing too much oil). If this is the case sprinkle the eggplant with salt and leave to drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Rinse quickly to remove salt before cooking.
