Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 roma plum tomato, cut into 1/4” slices
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 8 slices (1/4”) thick fresh mozzarella
  • 12 large basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
  2. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 the salt, pepper and oregano over top the chicken .
  4. Place the seasoned side down in the hot pan and add the rest of the spices on top.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes (you want a golden brown sear on it) then flip.
  6. Add the spinach into the pan and let it wilt slightly for 2-4 minutes.
  7. Place the wilted spinach on top of the chicken.

  11. Add the tomato slices to the pan and quick sear 1-2 minutes per side.
