🍗🥦 Garlic Chicken with Broccoli & Spinach

Tender garlic chicken, crisp broccoli, and fresh spinach are tossed in a light Parmesan sauce for a wholesome one-pan dinner that's ready in just 20 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

3. Add the broccoli florets and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for about 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.

4. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until the leaves have wilted.

5. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently toss until everything is coated in the light, savory sauce.

🍫 Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting 🥜
Ingredients:
For the Cupcakes:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup hot water
For the Peanut Butter Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3–4 cups powdered sugar (adjust for desired consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp whole milk (as needed)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Hot Water:
Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth and slightly thin. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the Cupcakes:
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, alternating with splashes of milk and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Assemble the Cupcakes:
Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost each one generously with the peanut butter frosting. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Helpful Tips:
Customize the Frosting: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra flavor.
Store Properly: Keep unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
