Healthy Keto Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Spinach
This colorful Keto garlic chicken with broccoli and spinach proves that healthy Keto recipes can be easy and fun to make. Tender chicken pieces and healthy avocado are marinated in extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and spices for delicious results you will love. We have added some peppers, broccoli, and spinach for a complete and healthy meal that will keep you full for hours. You can replace the chicken with some turkey breasts for equally delicious results. Another excellent vegetable choice would be asparagus or Brussels sprouts. Please note that the total preparation time includes the time necessary to marinate the meat.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Peel and roughly chop the avocado. Peel and slice the garlic. Add the meat, avocado, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, dried parsley, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Cut the broccoli into smaller florets. Heat a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the meat mixture and broccoli. Mix all well and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Slice or roughly chop the pepper. Add to the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 4
Roughly chop the spinach. Add to the pan and mix well. Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
When done, remove from the heat. Optionally, add some more salt or pepper to taste. You can also add a few drops of lemon or lime juice before serving.

Transfer to serving plates. Garnish with some sliced lemon. This dish pairs perfectly with your favorite Keto-friendly hot sauce. Serve immediately.
