Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 cup little tomatoes (grape, cherry, etc.) cut into halves
- 1/3 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon capers drained
- 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to make 4 smaller cutlets. Season them on both sides with salt & pepper and the dried oregano and garlic powder.
- Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes/side or until cooked through (165F). Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add in the garlic, wine, tomatoes, olives, and capers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes are just starting to soften and lose their shape. Don't let the sauce reduce too much (add a splash more broth if needed).
- Stir in the spinach and feta. Place the chicken back in the skillet, along with any juices from the plate, and let it warm through for a minute or two until the spinach wilts. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
