Water for the Sauce
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Pop a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.
Add the creme fraiche, sun-dried tomato paste, chicken stock paste, dried basil, tomatoes, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
Once boiling, add the chicken thighs and submerge completely in the sauce.
Pop a lid on the pan, then bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 18-20 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, halve the ciabatta.
When the stew has 5 mins remaining, pop the ciabatta halves into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Once toasted, drizzle with oil and season with salt.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the stew from the oven.
Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Use two forks to shred the chicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
Share the chicken stew between bowls.
Sprinkle over the cheese. Serve the ciabatta alongside for dipping.
Enjoy!
