How to make it

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with a little salt and pepper to your liking.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of olive oil if you like, then cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell peppers and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the peppers start to soften and the garlic is wonderfully fragrant.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the softened cream cheese until it melts and creates a smooth, lovely sauce. Add the fresh baby spinach and stir gently until it wilts, which only takes a minute or two.

  5. 5

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together gently until the chicken is coated in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
