Trim the large fatty bits off the chicken thighs and coat with salt and pepper.
In a hot pan with a splash of olive oil, brown the thigh fillets lightly and then set aside.
In the same saucepan, cook garlic, thyme leaves, onion, chilli and spring onion for two minutes.
Pour in stock, thickened cream and leave to simmer for a further 5 minutes.
Add in the browned chicken and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
Whilst this is cooking, grab another pan and splash a small amount of olive oil and heat over medium to high heat.
Cook zucchini, broccolini and artichokes until lightly browned.
After 20 minutes of the chicken simmering, throw in the zucchini, broccolini, tomatoes, spinach, artichokes and olives. Stir around well and simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink in the centre.
Stir the parmesan through the sauce.
Serve on a yummy bed of rice!
