Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly coat them in flour.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 6–7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Notes
Use fresh spinach for the best texture and flavor. Don’t overcook the chicken; aim for an internal temperature of 165°F.
