Cooking Instructions

- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for about 8 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely before stirring in the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add baby spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- Stir in the heavy cream and finely grated Parmesan, bringing to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
