Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown on both sides; remove.

  2. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the onion and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.

  3. Stir in the broth, bring to a boil, and scrape up the browned bits. Add the cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and garlic powder; cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  4. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the spinach, tomatoes, and remaining Parmesan. Cover and simmer until the chicken reaches 165°F and the spinach wilts, 13 to 15 minutes.
