1
Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt, then roast for about 20 minutes until they blister and release their juices. Set aside.
2
Trim the small tenderloin piece from the back of the chicken breast and pound the thicker end with a rolling pin to achieve even thickness throughout.
3
Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
4
Heat oil in a pan and cook the chicken for about 7–8 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for a few more minutes. The chicken does not need to be cooked through as it will simmer later in the sauce.
5
Remove the chicken and set aside. The pan now contains flavorful browned bits that will form the base of the sauce.
6
In the same pan, add a little olive oil and sauté garlic, then pour in the roasted tomatoes and their juices. Let the mixture bubble to deglaze the pan and incorporate all the savory browned bits.
7
Stir in the spinach and let it wilt in the tomato juices.
8
Add the red miso and stir until completely melted and incorporated into the sauce, adding umami depth and complexity.
9
Pour in the cream and stir well. The sauce will become rich, creamy, and well-rounded in flavor.
10
Return the chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce for 4–5 minutes to ensure it cooks through completely.
11
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese before serving.
