15 Minute Keto Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach
Description
This recipe cooks chicken pieces seasoned simply with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper sautéed in olive oil until golden and cooked through. Garlic is added near the end to infuse flavor without burning. Then chopped fresh tomatoes, broccoli florets, and baby spinach are stirred in along with shredded cheese and cream cheese, melting everything together. The mixture is cooked just until the vegetables soften and the cheese melts to provide a creamy texture that coats the ingredients.
The result is a protein-rich, vegetable-filled dish that balances tender chicken with the freshness of spinach and tomatoes. The cheese adds richness and ties the elements together without heaviness. It is served well on its own or alongside low-carb options like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
