Chicken, particularly boneless and skinless chicken breasts, serves as an excellent source of lean protein, making it a staple in many diets. A 3.5-ounce serving of cooked chicken breast contains approximately 31 grams of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. This makes chicken not only a primary source of protein but also a vital component for muscle growth and overall health.

Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups fresh spinach

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and ginger.

    Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

      Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.

        Add Broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets, stirring well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.

          Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach and soy sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts, another 2-3 minutes.

            Spice it Up: If you like heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes and stir to combine.

              Serve: Enjoy the garlic chicken over a bed of rice or quinoa, and savor your healthy creation!
