Ingredients

15 ml sunflower oil
1 kg chicken thighs (approximately 8 thighs)
1 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tins tomatoes, chopped and peeled (2 x 410g)
1 Knorr chicken stock pot
30 ml Knorr brown onion Soup
bunch spinach, washed and chopped
7.5 ml brown sugar

Cooking Method

Heat oil in a large pot and brown the chicken thighs in batches if necessary, then set aside
Fry the onion and garlic until soft then return the chicken to the pot and add the chopped tomatoes and Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
Stir well then allow to simmer unlidded for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally
Mix the Knorr Brown Onion Soup with a little water to form a smooth paste then stir it into the stew together with the spinach and brown sugar (the brown sugar will help to balance the acidity of the tomatoes)
Allow to simmer for 5 minutes to thicken and for the spinach to wilt then serve with creamy mashed potatoes
Better For You Tips: For a healthier option replace the chicken thighs with skinless chicken breast fillets and serve with mashed sweet potatoes instead (sweet potaoes are lower in GI than ordinary potatoes and packed full of vitamins and minerals)
