Ingredients

  • 2 large Boneless/skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 4 pieces)
  • Salt
  • ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil cooking oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1 ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Lemon wedges optional use at serving time!

Instructions

  • The first step is to prepare the chicken breast. To create this recipe, I split two large chicken breasts in half. I had four pieces of chicken. Season each side with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Then, when the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until golden on each side, about 7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Add unsalted butter to the same skillet and place it over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for approximately a minute.
  • Add cherry tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes begin to burst about 5 minutes. Then add the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the spinach starts to droop.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the sauce is slightly reduced. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 7 minutes.
  • I prefer serving with lemon wedges because the lemon adds a lovely bit of brightness to the taste!
