- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 250 g (½lb) mushrooms
- 150 g (7oz) baby spinach
- 1 cup cream
- 1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board in front of you. With a sharp knife, carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets.

- Heat a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and allow to sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

- Place the chicken back in the pan and cook for another 5 minutes then serve.
