4 servings
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups baby spinach

Heat the coconut oil in a large 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.
