How to make it

  1. In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle the curry powder, red curry paste, and ground coriander over the vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly.
  4. Add the red bell pepper slices and the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and a pinch of black pepper. If the pan appears too dry, add a small splash of water instead of more oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned on both sides but not fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and squeeze the lime wedge over the mixture. Stir well, allowing the chicken to cook through until it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚ F and the curry sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Fold in the spinach and remove the skillet from heat once the spinach is wilted.
  7. Serve the curry over a portion of jasmine rice and garnish with cilantro or basil if desired. Enjoy your meal!
