Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp dried thyme, then add to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Add 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add 3 cups baby spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Return the chicken to the skillet, drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice, and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors. Serve warm.
