Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach Stacked salad
Instructions
Cook the chicken:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add chicken, season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook until golden brown and fully cooked through (6–7 minutes).
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken, then set aside.
Prepare the broccoli:
Steam or blanch broccoli just until tender-crisp.
Rinse under cold water to keep it bright green.
Make the dressing:
Whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, mustard, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
Stack the salad:
On a plate or in a ring mold, layer spinach first as the base.
Add broccoli florets.
Top with sliced cucumber, red pepper, and onion.
Arrange the garlic chicken slices neatly on top.
Drizzle with dressing or serve it on the side.
✨ Serving tip: Garnish with toasted nuts (like almonds or walnuts) and a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra flavor and crunch.
Would you like me to make this recipe more light and refreshing (almost like a power salad) or heartier and meal-like (closer to a chicken entrée with layered veggies)?
