Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, spinach, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach only needs a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become wilted and mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and the spinach is still bright green.
