Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
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).
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.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce. Serve warm, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the chicken.
