Creating Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the chicken and garlic. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
6. Add Spinach: Fold in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
7. Season to Taste: Drizzle with soy sauce if desired, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing touch.
