Return the chicken to the pan, then pour in the stock and simmer for 5 mins. Add the spinach and cook for a further 5-10 mins until the chicken has cooked all the way through and the spinach has wilted.

Serve the chicken over cooked rice, if you like, with the remaining parmesan and parsley sprinkled over the top.
