Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby spinach

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Pantry Staples & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc.)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Base Options

  • 2 cups cooked pasta or cauliflower rice (your choice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Veggies: In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly, releasing their juices.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the sliced chicken to the pan and mix everything together. Add your cooked pasta or chosen base and sprinkle grated Parmesan generously over the top. Stir until the cheese melts slightly, coating all ingredients in creamy flavor.
  4. Final Touch: Adjust seasoning with extra pepper or Italian seasoning if desired. Plate the mixture into bowls, garnish as preferred, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact.
  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese fresh for optimal melt and taste, rather than using pre-grated.
  • Cook your chosen base (pasta or cauliflower rice) ahead to save time.
  • For a tangy note, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan during cooking.
