Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach

1.

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

2.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot but not smoking.

3.

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, cooking each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

4.

While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic cloves finely using a chef’s knife or a garlic press.

Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate, keeping it warm.

6.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

7.

Add broccoli florets to the skillet, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant.

8.

Stir in the spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt gently for about 1 minute while stirring occasionally.

9.

Return the chicken to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the vegetables to incorporate flavors.

10.

Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, adjusting according to taste preferences.

11.

Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes to ensure everything is well-heated and combined.
