Citrus Chicken with Fennel and Spinach

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2Zest the orange (1) and set aside the zest. Cut the orange (1) in half and squeeze out the juice into a bowl.

3Slice the fennel bulb (1) and onion (1). Deseed and chop the chilli (1). Mince the garlic (3 cloves) cloves.

4Season the chicken breasts (2) with salt and pepper on both sides.

5In a large oven-safe skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts (2) and sear until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

6In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the fennel, onion (1), chilli (1), and garlic (3 cloves) until softened and fragrant.

7Return the chicken breasts (2) to the skillet. Pour in the orange (1) juice and sprinkle the orange (1) zest over the chicken and vegetables.

8Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

9In a separate pan, wilt the spinach (2 cups) over medium heat with a splash of water.

10Serve the citrus chicken with the sautéed spinach (2 cups) on the side. Drizzle the whole grain mustard (2 tablespoons) over the chicken before serving.
