Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • tsp Kosher salt
  • tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cup baby spinach

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  • Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
