Instructions

Making the Comfort Dish

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Toss in 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir for another minute.
Chop 1 bell pepper and add it to the pan. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes until the peppers soften.
Slice 1 zucchini and add it to the mix. Cook until tender, around 4-6 minutes.
Add a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts beautifully, about 2 minutes.
If using chicken breast, add it diced, and cook until no longer pink, around 7-10 minutes. For chickpeas or tofu, just stir to heat through for about 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle salt and pepper, adjusting as necessary. Get creative with spices like paprika or cumin for an extra kick!

Notes

Ensure onions are cooked until translucent for natural sweetness. Use fresh garlic for better taste, and add spinach at the end to preserve its nutrients.
