⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by preheating a skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage on both sides. This will enhance the natural flavors of the chicken.
2. 2.
   Add olive oil to the skillet once it's hot. Carefully place the chicken in the skillet, cooking it on each side for 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should have a golden brown crust, indicating it is properly seared and sealed, keeping it juicy.
3. 3.
   While the chicken is cooking, rinse the spinach and pat it dry. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Resting the chicken helps retain its juices, ensuring a moist texture.
4. 4.
   In the same skillet, add the spinach and sauté over medium heat until it wilts slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The tomatoes should become slightly soft but still hold their shape, adding a burst of color and flavor.
5. 5.
   Plate the sautéed spinach and tomatoes, and top with sliced chicken. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the dish, allowing it to gently melt over the warmth of the chicken and vegetables. This adds a rich, savory note to the meal. For a variation in taste, feel free to substitute the parmesan with a different cheese of your choice.
