Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 3

In an oven-safe skillet or a regular skillet (if transferring to a baking dish later), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken temporarily from the skillet.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet (or transfer everything to a baking dish if needed). Spoon the tomato and spinach mixture over the chicken.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as quinoa, rice, or a fresh salad.
