Method
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Stir in the red pepper flakes (if using) and the remaining dried oregano.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the feta cheese and allow it to melt slightly into the sauce.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and nestle them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and bring the sauce back to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve over pasta, rice, quinoa, or alongside a salad.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream. Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions can also be added. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2-3 months. Consider a slow cooker variation by combining all ingredients and cooking on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
