Ingredients
- olive oil
- chicken breast
- salt
- pepper
- oregano
- butter
- garlic
- cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it looks slick and glides across the pan.
- Add the chicken breasts, spacing them properly to fit four in the skillet, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and it is cooked through; remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, covered, until ready to reintroduce.
- Add butter to the same skillet and melt it, scraping any stuck-on chicken and seasoning bits back into the mix.
- Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper; cook until the skin begins to burst.
- Add spinach and cook until it wilts.
- Add heavy cream and Parmesan and stir until the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce until heated through completely, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Plate, serve with lemon wedges, and enjoy.
