  1. 1

    1. Sear the chicken.

    Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat with a few drops of olive oil. Sear the fillets 3–4 minutes per side, until golden. Remove and set aside.

    2. Start the sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and slightly translucent.

    3. Add the tomato and spinach

    Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh herbs. Mix well and cook 3–4 minutes over medium heat to let the flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the spinach and cook 2–3 minutes, until wilted and tender.
