Ingredients
- 225 g (8 oz) chicken breast boneless and skinless
- 1 medium yellow zucchini chopped
- 225 g (8 oz) broccoli roughly chopped
- 225 g (8 oz) cauliflower chopped
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 2 jalapeños chopped (seeds removed for less spice)
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. pepper
- 2 tbsp. chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Option 1: To Grill the Chicken:
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Option 2: To Air Fry the Chicken:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large non-stick pan, combine zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower. Stir occasionally for about 2 minutes.
- Add ½ cup of water and cover the pan with a lid to steam the veggies for about 30 seconds.
Finish the Veggies:
- Remove the lid and add the spinach and jalapeños.
- Stir in chili flakes (optional) and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the veggies are tender.
Serve:
- Plate the grilled (or air-fried) chicken alongside the sautéed veggies.
