4 servings
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- 1.500 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season all over with 1/2 tsp salt and the black pepper.
- 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes until the undersides are golden and release easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate — it will not be cooked through at this point.
