instructions
    1

    Begin by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and finely mincing the garlic.

    2

    In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

    4

    Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.

    5

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and set aside.

    6

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the coconut milk and stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

    7

    Add the sliced red bell pepper and 4 cups of spinach to the pan. Stir well.

    8

    Cook everything together for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the bell pepper is slightly tender.

    9

    Season with black pepper to taste and give it a final stir.

    10

    Remove from heat and serve hot, perhaps over a bed of rice or noodles.
