Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with hot water (from the tap); cover and place over high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the spinach. (Skip this step if it came pre-washed.)

Step 3

Wash and separate broccoli into bite-sized florets and cut stems into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Once the water in the saucepan is boiling, add the spinach, and stir. Cook 30-60 seconds, then remove to a colander with a slotted spoon. Rinse spinach under cold water, then press out excess water with the back of a spoon or your hands; transfer to a small bowl.

Step 5

When the water in the saucepan returns to a boil, add the broccoli, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until broccoli is fork-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Coarsely grate the mozzarella.

Step 7

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Step 9

Once the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 10

Add chicken and spices to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.

Step 11

Meanwhile, peel and mince the garlic. When the chicken is done, add the garlic to the skillet and cook 1 minute more.

Step 12

Add spinach, broccoli, mozzarella, and ricotta to the skillet; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

Step 13

To serve, divide chicken sauté between plates, sprinkle with crushed red pepper, and enjoy!
