Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  13. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
