  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
– 1 lemon, juiced
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Ultimate Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and wash the broccoli and spinach thoroughly. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and let it heat up for a minute.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is no longer pink, add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
6. Add Broccoli: Add the fresh broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well and cover for about 3-5 minutes to allow the broccoli to steam and become tender.
7. Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Finish with Lemon: Squeeze the lemon juice over the dish. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley for an appealing presentation.
