Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup spinach, fresh
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, remove the chicken and set aside.

- Return the golden chicken to the skillet and coat it in the creamy sauce, making sure it’s enveloped in that delicious goodness.
- Serve warm with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top, and watch everyone’s eyes light up!
Notes
You can marinate the chicken a few hours ahead for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
