Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts then season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook chicken 8 minutes per side.
1 tablespoon olive oil,
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
½ teaspoon kosher sea salt,
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper,
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Once chicken is cooked, remove from skillet and set aside.
Add butter and chicken broth to the skillet, cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Whisk in flour. Sauce will begin to thicken.
4 tablespoons butter,
2 cups chicken broth,
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute. Then add spinach, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice, cook 1 more minute while the spinach begins to wilt.
1 medium yellow onion,
1 teaspoon garlic,
3 cups baby spinach,
9 ounces cherry tomatoes,
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Add cooked chicken back to the skillet and reduce the temperature to low. Simmer 15 minutes.
½ cup heavy cream,
½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 160℉. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, and the temp will rise to 165℉.
Serve over pasta, rice, or by itself!

Notes
You can substitute boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
Continually whisk flour as the sauce thickens.
Adding lemon juice with the spinach not only enhances the flavor, but it also helps your body absorb the iron in the spinach.
Storage:
Store creamy Tuscan chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
