Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add 5 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce slightly thickens.
4. Step 4: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
