Chicken and Marinade
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend (oregano, basil, thyme)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Veggies and Cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach or basil leaves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, grated parmesan, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. This marinade will infuse the chicken with signature garlic parmesan flavor so every bite tastes amazing.
- Marinate the Chicken: Toss the sliced chicken breast pieces in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes to soak up the flavors perfectly.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Add Fresh Veggies and Cheese: Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and a handful of spinach or basil until slightly wilted. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, allowing it to melt into the warm ingredients creating that irresistible pizza-cheese pull.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the cooked mixture into bowls and garnish with extra parmesan and fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy the cozy pizza flavors in a convenient bowl format!
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and boldest taste compared to pre-minced.
- Don’t overcook chicken; remove from heat once no longer pink inside to keep it juicy.
- Quality cheese matters; freshly grated parmesan melts and flavors better than pre-grated versions.
- Customize herbs by trying oregano, thyme, or rosemary for different flavor notes.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese and greens at their best.
