How dinner comes together

  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Dice the onion and pepper, and cut the chicken into large bite-size pieces.

  2. Heat the oil in a deep skillet. Brown the chicken in a single layer for 4–5 minutes, then transfer it to a plate.

  3. Cook the onion and pepper until beginning to soften. Stir in the curry powder for 30 seconds.

  4. Add the coconut milk and return the chicken. Simmer gently until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce thickens, 8–10 minutes.

  5. Fold in the spinach until wilted. Finish with lime juice and cilantro, then serve with rice.
