Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, season both sides generously with garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Let sit for a few minutes to absorb flavors.
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Heat until the oil shimmers.
- Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes without moving them.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and tent it with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes, mashing a few to release their juices.
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring gently until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes for the feta to warm through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly grated lemon zest and chopped parsley.
