Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan to ensure even coating. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn as burnt garlic can turn bitter.
2. 2.
   Increase the heat to medium-high and add the grilled chicken breast. If the chicken is not cooked, grill it first with a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning. Cook each side for about 3 minutes or until it is golden brown and fully cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
3. 3.
   Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes on a cutting board. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist. Meanwhile, add the spinach to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until wilted and vibrant in color, stirring frequently to avoid uneven cooking.
4. 4.
   Slice the chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet along with the spinach. Lower the heat to medium. Add the Greek yogurt to the mixture and stir to combine. The yogurt will create a creamy texture and a tangy flavor. Cook for an additional minute until everything is heated through.
5. 5.
   Transfer the mixture onto a plate. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed. Serve immediately while warm, ensuring that every bite contains a mix of the juicy chicken, creamy sauce, and tender spinach.
