Meanwhile, spray chicken and corn with cooking oil and grill, turning often, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and corn
is tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Shred cooled chicken and cut corn kernels off cob, then set aside.

Meanwhile, put stock in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half.

Melt butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion, garlic, dried Italian herbs and bay leaves and cook for 5 minutes or until
softened. Pour in cream and hot stock. Bring to a simmer, then remove bay leaves. Stir in capsicum, then transfer to a blender. Carefully blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in chicken, corn and spinach leaves. Set aside.
