Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 inches fresh turmeric root, grated (or 2 tsp ground turmeric)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add chicken pieces along with grated turmeric (or ground), salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is lightly browned on all sides (approximately 7-10 minutes).
- Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth; bring to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
- Add spinach or kale about 5 minutes before serving so they wilt perfectly. Finish with fresh lime juice.
