⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1
Instructions
- 1.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the sliced chicken breast. Sauté for about 3 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown on the edges, ensuring all sides are seared evenly.
- 2.Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the chicken in the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes. The tomatoes should begin to soften slightly, releasing their juices, and creating a light sauce in the pan.
- 3.Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh spinach. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted completely. This will prevent it from overcooking and becoming too mushy while allowing it to retain a vibrant green color.
- 4.Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the mixture. Stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional minute until the cheese begins to soften but does not melt completely, adding a creamy texture to the dish.
- 5.Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the sauté immediately on a plate, ensuring to scoop all the ingredients evenly. If the dish appears too dry, you can add an additional tablespoon of olive oil before serving for an added richness.
