Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breasts Halved horizontally or thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil Extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 1/2 cup Onion Diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Diced tomatoes Canned or fresh
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Room temperature
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach Roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh basil or parsley Finely chopped
  • 1 pinch Salt and pepper To taste

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into a smooth sauce.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
