Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon kosher sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 9 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts then season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook the chicken for 8 minutes per side.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the butter and chicken broth to the skillet, and cook over medium heat until the butter is melted. Whisk in the flour. The sauce will begin to thicken.
- Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Then add the spinach, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice, and cook for 1 more minute while the spinach begins to wilt.
- Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and reduce the temperature to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 160℉. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, and the temp will rise to 165℉.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or by itself!
