1 pound chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups spinach leaves
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
- Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot but not smoking.

- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant.
- Stir in the spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt gently for about 1 minute while stirring occasionally.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the vegetables to incorporate flavors.
- Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, adjusting according to taste preferences.
- Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes to ensure everything is well-heated and combined.
