  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 10 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth or water


Instructions

Making the Easy High-Protein Chicken Skillet Dinner is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until they soften.
4. Incorporate Spinach: Add the minced garlic and fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir well and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Deglaze the Pan: If desired, pour in chicken broth or water to deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits off the bottom for added flavor.
6. Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your taste.
7. Serve Hot: Once everything is cooked through and well combined, remove from heat and serve immediately.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delightful dish that is both nutritious and satisfying.
