Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup little tomatoes (grape, cherry, etc.) (cut into halves)
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 tablespoon capers (drained)
  • 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to make 4 smaller cutlets. Season them on both sides with salt & pepper and the dried oregano and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes/side or until cooked through (165F). Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium and add in the garlic, wine, tomatoes, olives, and capers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes are just starting to soften and lose their shape. Don't let the sauce reduce too much (add a splash more broth if needed).

  4. 4

    Stir in the spinach and feta. Place the chicken back in the skillet, along with any juices from the plate, and let it warm through for a minute or two until the spinach wilts. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
