Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

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

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

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

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

      Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.

        Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt, followed by the heavy cream. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Incorporate Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

            Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let it simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

              Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle the creamy sauce over each piece, garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
