• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breast

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 (28oz) can diced tomatoes

1/2 can (7oz) coconut milk

1 (19oz) can chickpeas

2 tbsp curry powder / masala

¼ tsp dried ginger (or 1 tsp fresh ginger)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach

Chopped fresh cilantro + lime wedges

Directions

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat. Add the chicken and cook, 5-6 minutes, until almost cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Remove the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.

To the pan, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat. Add the onions and peppers and cook for 5 minutes or until the onions start to soften, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with the tomatoes (and their juice), coconut milk, drained chickpeas, frozen cauliflower, curry powder, turmeric, ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Remove the lid from the skillet and add the spinach. Stir and allow the spinach to wilt, 2-3 minutes, then serve over steamed rice with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
