1/2 tablespoon butter
1 yellow onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced

FOR THE CHICKEN BREASTS
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 7 minutes; flip and continue to cook for 6 more minutes, or until done. Cooking time also depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts; use thinner chicken breasts for faster cooking.

Stir in onions and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in garlic and continue to cook for 1 more minute, or until onions are soft.

Stir in spinach and continue to cook until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
Add heavy cream, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
Mix in parmesan cheese; stir until sauce has thickened.
Place chicken back in the pan and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
Spoon sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
