A wholesome and satisfying meal packed with lean protein, nutrient-rich veggies, and bold flavors, perfect for quick dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: grated Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms. Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned.
  5. Lower the heat and add the fresh spinach. Stir gently until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the remaining Italian seasoning into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the veggies and broth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

[‘Cook the chicken in batches to ensure even browning.’, ‘Use fresh spinach and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.’, ‘Layer seasoning during each step for a well-rounded flavor.’, ‘Keep an eye on the garlic to prevent burning.’, ‘For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk to the chicken broth.’]
