  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 34 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Cook garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add spinach and cook until wilted (1-2 minutes).
  5. Make It Creamy: Stir in softened cream cheese until melted and combined. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and let it melt.
  6. Adjust Seasoning & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and omit mozzarella.
  • Protein Swap: Substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken.
  • Extra Veggies: Add mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • Creamier Sauce: Stir in a splash of heavy cream for extra richness.
