Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot.
- Add the chicken and onion and cook over medium heat until almost fully cooked and onion is soft.
- Add the curry paste, ginger, coconut milk, and 1 cup of water and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil and then add the additional cup of water.
- Bring to a boil again and add the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
- Simmer for 20 minutes and then add the spinach.
- Simmer for an additional 10 minutes until spinach is wilted.
Notes
- Swap the spinach for kale. I like to remove thick part of the stems with scissors and massage the leaves to make them more tender.
- Add a couple of cloves of minced garlic after sautéing the chicken and onion and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
- Add diced red bell pepper or diced sweet potatoes or canned tomatoes for more veggies.
- Use ground chicken or turkey or even cubes of extra firm tofu for a vegan alternative.
- For extra spice, add more curry paste or a dash of chili flakes.
- Add a ½ cup of fresh chopped cilantro or bail leaves.
