Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into even bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.

  3. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for approximately 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  5. Add in the chopped cherry tomatoes and broccoli florets; cook for around 5 minutes until tender but crisp.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach, followed by the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese; cook until melted.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary; garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
