Ingredients:
For the chicken
● 4 thin sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breast
● Salt, pepper, and oregano for seasoning chicken breast
● 2-3 tbsp olive oil for cooking chicken
For the sauce
● 6 tbsp unsalted butter
● 1 tbsp minced garlic
● 3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
● 6 cups or (1) 6-ounce bag baby spinach
● 1 cup heavy whipping cream
● ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
● ½ tsp salt
● ½ tsp pepper
● ½ tsp dried parsley
Instructions:
1. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano.
2. Preheat a large skillet (I used a 12 in. cast iron) over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Add olive oil to the hot skillet, then add the seasoned chicken breast.
4. Allow the chicken breast to cook for about 4 minutes before flipping, then cook an additional 4 minutes on the other side.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet, leaving all of the drippings.
6. Add the butter, and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.
7. When the butter is fully melted, add the minced garlic.
8. Cook the garlic until fragrant (about 1 min.), then add the tomatoes.
9. Cook the tomatoes until they have cooked down (approx. 5 min.).
10. Add the baby spinach, mix, and cook until the spinach is wilted.
11. Add the heavy cream, parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.
12. Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat medium low, and cook for about 5 minutes.
13. Add the chicken back to the sauce and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
14. Serve over your favorite bread, pasta, or rice and enjoy!

Thank you so much for your recipes! My family has loved everyone I’ve made. I made chicken for some and shrimp for the others. Keep them coming! I’m going to need a recipe book. I try to never make the same meal twice and you’re helping with that.
My wife and kids loved it! It was very easy to make.
