Ingredients
Chicken and Seasonings
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Cooking Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth

- ⅓ cup Kalamata olives

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to make 4 smaller cutlets. Season them on both sides with salt & pepper and the dried oregano and garlic powder.
- Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes/side or until cooked through (165F). Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add in the garlic, wine, tomatoes, olives, and capers. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes are just starting to soften and lose their shape. Don't let the sauce reduce too much (add a splash more broth if needed).
- Stir in the spinach and feta. Place the chicken back in the skillet, along with any juices from the plate, and let it warm through for a minute or two until the spinach wilts. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
