Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach

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.
• Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, cooking each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
• While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic cloves finely using a chef’s knife or a garlic press.
• Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate, keeping it warm.
• 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.
• Transfer the cooked garlic chicken with broccoli and spinach to a serving dish and serve immediately.
