  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

– 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning


Instructions

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

1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing the broccoli and spinach. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Ensure that the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well, allowing them to cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn vibrant green but remain crisp.
6. Add Spinach: Toss in the spinach, and stir until it wilts, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
7. Finish with Flavors: Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with soy sauce and mix well to combine all flavors. If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
8. Serve Immediately: Once everything is thoroughly mixed and cooked to your preference, remove from heat and serve hot.
