Season and sear the chicken: sprinkle the chicken with the Italian herb mix, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Heat the olive oil on high in a 30 cm / 12" non-stick pan until very hot. Add the chicken, spread it out, and leave it for 30 seconds until golden, then stir, leaving it for 20 seconds now and then to get colour, until most pieces are light golden.

Sauté the onion: lower heat to medium-high. Add the onion and garlic and cook for around 2 minutes, until the onion is wilted.

Deglaze and add flour: turn the heat back up to high. Add the wine and simmer 1–2 minutes until reduced by half. Add the flour and stir until mixed in.

Make the sauce: slowly pour in a third of the stock, mixing as you go — the flour will thicken it quickly. Add the rest of the stock, the beans and the sun-dried tomato, and stir well.

First simmer: bring to a simmer, lower heat to medium so it's simmering gently, and cook 7 minutes, stirring now and then.

Second simmer: add the cherry tomatoes, cream and parmesan. Mix and simmer 8 minutes, until the sauce reduces to a gravy consistency.
8:00 timer - 7
Wilt the spinach: stir the spinach in until wilted (~30 seconds). Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra parmesan and chilli flakes if desired, and serve with warm crusty bread.
