  2. Simmer Chicken: Add the diced chicken breast and chicken broth, then bring to a boil.

  4. Wilt Greens: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2 minutes until fully wilted.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: The high-protein, lean-chicken profile preserves essential muscle tissue while the micronutrient-dense vegetables support a robust ZOE-style gut microbiome. Culinary Hack: Smash the garlic cloves 10 minutes before cooking to maximize the release of beneficial, heat-stable allicin.
