Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 g Chicken breast
  • 60 ml Olive oil (¼ cup)
  • 3 Garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 30 ml Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
  • 240 ml Vegetable broth (1 cup)
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 100 g Fresh spinach (3.5 oz)
  • 250 g Cherry tomatoes, halved (1.5 cups)
  • 100 g Feta cheese, crumbled (½ cup)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute until fragrant. Make sure not to let it burn!
  2. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until it’s golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and fresh rosemary. Bring it to a simmer, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Toss in the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet. Stir to coat in the delicious broth and veggies.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and veggies for a finishing touch. Let it warm through for an extra minute.
  7. Plate it, and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Notes

This dish can be served in layers on a plate, with the sautéed veggies under the sliced chicken and topped generously with feta cheese. Pair it with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds an elegant touch.
