Pat chicken dry to help it sear and brown better; season on all sides with oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Heat 2 T. olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmery but not smoking. Place chicken in the skillet; sear 4-5 minutes on one side; flip over; sear 4 minutes on second side until golden. Remove chicken from the skillet; place on a plate; set aside.
Heat 1 T. olive oil in the same skillet; saute onion and garlic until translucent. Add tomatoes; cook until blistered. Add spinach and capers; cook until spinach is wilted. Add chicken back to the skillet; cook 1 minute. Add lemon juice.
Serve immediately.
2-4 servings.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tip: A cast iron skillet keeps the heat fairly well. Make sure the skillet is not too hot or the chicken will not cook evenly and completely.
