Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup cooking cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano on both sides.

2. Heat the Skillet
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Chicken
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes start to soften.

5. Add Spinach
- Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.

6. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
- Pour the cooking cream and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir well, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

7. Incorporate the Parmesan
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and blends into the sauce.

8. Combine Chicken and Sauce
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them evenly with the creamy sauce. Let simmer for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

9. Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your gourmet dinner!
