Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 tsp mild curry powder
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. peeled and minced ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 3 cups baby spinach

Directions

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken with curry powder; set aside. In a large saute pan on medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and saute until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken, ginger and garlic and saute until chicken begins to brown, 2 minutes. Add peas, tomatoes, broth, coconut milk and 1/4 tsp salt. Reduce heat to low and maintain a simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare quinoa as directed with remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Fluff with a fork, cover and set aside.

  3. Stir spinach into curry and heat just until leaves start to wilt, 1 minute. Divide quinoa among plates and top with curry.
