Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Garlic and Tomatoes
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Add Spinach and Cream
Add the spinach and stir until it begins to wilt.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the vegetables.
5. Add Cheese
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
6. Return Chicken to the Pan
Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet and spoon sauce over each piece.
Simmer for a few minutes to reheat the chicken and allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve
Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
