Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and stir in ginger. Cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove ginger and set aside. (5-7 minutes)
02
StepSeason chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the same skillet over medium-high heat without crowding. Cook until chicken is lightly brown on all sides. (8-10 minutes)
03
StepReturn ginger to the skillet and add coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then cover with the lid tilted to allow steam to escape. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone, about 30 minutes.
04
StepStir in spinach and simmer uncovered until spinach is warmed through, 8 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
