Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

        Add Spinach and Herbs: Stir in the spinach and dried Italian herbs, cooking until the spinach wilts.

          Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, turning to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot. Pair with pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
