Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat 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

Step

Season 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

Step

Return 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

Step

Stir in spinach and simmer uncovered until spinach is warmed through, 8 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
Adjust the amount of ginger to your preference. More ginger will create a spicier dish.
Serve over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
