Seared chicken in a luscious garlic cream sauce with spinach and sun-kissed cherry tomatoes — restaurant-style comfort food in under thirty minutes.

Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 0.75 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp parmesan, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thin cutlets and season with the salt and black pepper. Sear in the olive oil over medium-high for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then set aside.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic to the pan, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook 2 minutes until they begin to slump.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the parmesan, simmering 2 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook 1 minute just until wilted, then nestle the chicken back in and spoon the sauce over to warm through.
