Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 23 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach is straightforward with these clear steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to become hot but not smoking.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown. Flip the pieces halfway through for even cooking.

4. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet once the chicken is nearly cooked through. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Incorporate Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for another 3 minutes, allowing them to soften but remain crisp.

6. Add Spinach: Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

7. Finish with Lemon: Drizzle the lemon juice over the entire dish for a touch of brightness. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for added color and flavor.

9. Serve Immediately: Transfer the mixture to a serving platter.

These simple steps will guide you in creating this amazing Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach effortlessly.
