Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken cutlets
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes 150 g
  • 2 cups fresh spinach 300 g
  • 1 cup heavy cream 240 ml
  • 1/2 cup cooking white wine

Instructions

  • Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, like oregano or rosemary, on the chicken cutlets. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken cutlets for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add Spinach and Wine: Add the spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
  • Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken back in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Finish with Cream: Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Mix until the sauce is smooth and evenly coats the chicken.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or alongside crusty bread.
