Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded 1-inch thick
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
¾ cup cherry tomatoes halved or leave whole
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup half and half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Season both sides of chicken with salt and garlic powder.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place chicken in the skillet and cook until done, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Place chicken on a separate plate and set aside.
In that same skillet, sauté the spinach, cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper until the tomatoes and spinach begin to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Set the skillet aside to cool for a few minutes.
Pour the chicken broth, half and half, and lemon juice into the skillet. Heat ingredients together but do not bring to a boil to prevent the half and half from curdling. Stir frequently for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Stir the parmesan cheese into the skillet and cook until melted.
Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
