For the rice:

  • 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 bay leaf

For the chicken:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons mild curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, chopped finely
  • 2 medium-sized cloves garlic, chopped finely
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 10 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

DIRECTIONS

For the rice:

Cook the basmati rice according to the package directions together with the onion, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Remove the spices and set the rice aside.

Place 1 tablespoon of the oil, curry powder, coriander, cumin, ginger, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining oil and the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the spiced oil.

Add the tomatoes to the skillet; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover the skillet and stir to combine. Add the spinach to the skillet; cover and cook for 5 more minutes. Uncover the skillet and stir to combine. Add the salt, water, and cilantro to the skillet and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve over rice.
