Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients and cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the broccoli florets and spinach under cold water.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  • Fold in the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  • If desired, drizzle with soy sauce and add red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
  • Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve hot, optionally with lemon wedges on the side.

Prep efficiently by cutting chicken and rinsing veggies ahead. Watch the garlic to avoid burning. Feel free to add other colorful veggies for variety.
