Equipment
- Large saucepan or skillet
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups baby spinach
- ½ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 4 oz cream cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken pieces and season with Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Incorporate Vegetables and Cheese: Add the chopped tomatoes, broccoli florets, and spinach to the skillet. Stir in the shredded cheese and cream cheese. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the broccoli to soften and the cheese to melt, creating a creamy sauce.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Pair with zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or your favorite low-carb alternative. For non-keto eaters, it can also be served with pasta or rice.
