Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 4 (6- to 8-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  3. Kosher salt
  4. Freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1 tsp. dried oregano
  6. 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  7. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  8. 1 1/2 c. cherry tomatoes, halved
  9. 3 c. baby spinach
  10. 1/2 c. heavy cream
  11. 1/2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/4 cup)
  12. Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Sprinkle chicken all over with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook, turning halfway through, until browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165°, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. In same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes are beginning to burst, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach is beginning to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  3. Stir in cream and Parmesan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Divide chicken among plates. Spoon sauce over. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
