Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by dicing the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the red onion and bell pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chopped red onion to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 6

Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Stir and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped bell pepper, and continue to cook for about 3 minutes until the pepper is softened.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin, stirring to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, allowing the liquid to deglaze the pan. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 10

Add the baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach is wilted and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the filling before serving.

Step 13

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before using this savory chicken mixture as a filling or serving it alongside your favorite low-carb dishes.
