Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into even cutlets
- 10 oz fresh baby spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

- Add the diced onion to the remaining fat in the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
