Ingredients
 1 tsp butter
 1 clove garlic, minced

 1/4 cup shaved parmesan
 3 tbsp fresh chives, diced, to serve
Directions
1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.

2

In a large pan over a medium heat add the butter, garlic, onion and bacon and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken breast and cook for a couple of minutes on each side.

While the chicken is cooking, place the sour cream, vegetable stock, water, tomato paste, salt, pepper and oregano into a bowl and mix well. Pour this over the chicken and add the spinach and tomatoes and stir through and cook for a further minute.

Transfer the mixture into a baking tray (like the one pictured). Have some of the bacon on top of the chicken as it will crisp up nicely while in the oven. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    This recipe is so yummy. We often use coconut cream instead of sour cream and still tastes delicious. This is a regular in our household
