Method
- For the chicken: first make a coriander paste by blending together all the ingredients except the chickn in a mini food processor. Carefully lift the skin off the chicken breast without separating it completely from the flesh, creating a pocket. Spoon some of the corinader paste under the skin, rub it in well and reshape the skin. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes (maximum overnight).
- Heat the remaining one tablespoon of sunflower oil in a heavy-based frying pan, then cook the chicken breasts, skin side down, over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Turn them over and cook on the flesh side for 5 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine all the ingredients for the mash except the spinach, season to taste and heat (in a non-stick frying pan, if possible) over a low flame or in the microwave until piping hot. Fold in the spinach and continue to cook until it has wilted.
- Place a pile of mash in the centre of four plates, then top with the spicy chicken breast.

"I'm a bit of a leg man, so I often make this dish with chicken thighs - again, pushing the coriander paste under the skin."
