Ingredients

Instructions
Step 1
Mix the oregano and pepper together, and add a little salt if you like. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the chicken. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan, seasoned side down, and cover. Let it cook for about 6 minutes until it’s nicely browned. Flip the chicken, lay two lemon slices on each piece, cover again, and cook for another 6 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely cover it to keep warm.
Step 2
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, stirring constantly for about a minute until fragrant. Add the rice, chicken stock, the rest of the oregano and pepper, and stir everything together. Gradually add the spinach, gently stirring until it wilts down. Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, then sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts before serving.
