Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. Prep and Season the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of garlic powder for extra depth of flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil, then toss in the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add cherry tomatoes and spinach. Sauté until the tomatoes begin to soften and the spinach wilts slightly.
  4. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the garlic and veggies. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover and cook until the cheese melts and becomes gooey.
  5. Serve Over a Base: Spoon the cheesy chicken and vegetable mixture over a bed of warm brown rice or cauliflower rice for a hearty and comforting bowl.

Notes

  • Use fresh minced garlic whenever possible for the best flavor.
  • Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure an even sear.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese fresh for richer taste and better melting.
  • Prep garlic and vegetables ahead of time to simplify the cooking process.
  • Allow the cooked chicken to rest a few minutes to retain its juices and tenderness.
