Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the dried basil and oregano.

Sear the Chicken

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add Tomatoes and Spinach

Stir in cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

5

Mix Sauce and Chicken

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then return the chicken to the pot. Sprinkle with remaining spices and simmer for 10 minutes.

6

Final Touches

Add parmesan cheese and remaining basil and oregano before serving.
