Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F, 8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst then add spinach and cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.
  • Stir in heavy cream and parmesan and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
