Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet, placing them around the chicken. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Step 9
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce. Serve warm, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the chicken.
