Recipe Notes

  • I've used both boneless chicken breast and ground chicken in this recipe, and both are delicious.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your heat preferences. You can also omit them.

Here's how to make it:

  1. Combine the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and crushed red pepper flakes. Season the chicken breast chunks with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle with the turmeric mixture to completely cover. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the chicken until brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Continue to cook about 2 more minutes.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the spinach and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts. Serve over rice.

It's one of my favorites. Can't decide if I like using ground chicken or chicken breasts best. What did you use? Susan Masterson, PhD
