Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 5 clove garlic
  • 2 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp italian seasoning blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thin cutlets. Season with salt and Italian seasoning.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and sear the cutlets 4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes and cook 3 minutes, pressing the tomatoes so they burst.

  4. Pour in the broth and scrape up the browned bits, then stir in the cream and Parmesan. Simmer 4 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Add the spinach a handful at a time and stir until wilted.

  6. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and simmer 2 minutes to heat through.
