## Equipment

- Stovetop and large skillet

- Knife and cutting board

- Instant-read thermometer

- Oven and oven-safe skillet

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Heat the oven to 400°F or use its broiler. Season chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika and optional chili flakes.

2. **Step 2.** In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, use half the butter to brown chicken for 4–5 minutes per side. Cook poultry to 165°F; reserve on a clean plate.

3. **Step 3.** Melt remaining butter; stir onion and garlic for 1 minute. Add tomatoes for 2 minutes, then broth and spinach for another 1–2 minutes.

4. **Step 4.** Return chicken, add cheese, and briefly broil until melted. Watch continuously and finish with parsley.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The publisher lists 789 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
