Instructions

Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions using water or almond milk, set aside.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add broccoli florets to the same skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.

Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle flour over the broccoli and stir for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.

Gradually whisk in the almond milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.

Stir in oregano, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Final Notes

Serve the creamy herbed chicken and broccoli hot over the cooked rice. This dish offers a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
