Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the tomatoes begin to soften.
