Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced small
  • 1 (8 oz) container cremini mushrooms, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. lean ground chicken (I use 90% lean)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder or garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

For serving:

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Steamed white or brown rice (see notes)

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Add onion and mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add ground chicken to the pan and cook until cooked all the way through, about 7-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Add the curry, cumin, coriander, salt, turmeric and ginger and stir well to combine.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and spinach until warmed through and lightly wilted, 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the curried chicken over steamed rice. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and peanuts, if using, and enjoy!

Notes

Serving ideas: Serve as is, or with cauliflower rice, for a low-carb meal. Or serve over steamed brown or white rice (that’s my go-to way). You could also pair with some warm naan or pita bread or serve this ground chicken mixture over baked sweet potatoes.
Leftovers: Once cooled, store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.
