Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breasts

For this recipe, you will need about one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly in the curry.

Coconut Milk

Use one can (approximately 13.5 ounces) of full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy base. The natural sweetness of the coconut complements the spices beautifully while providing a smooth texture.

Curry Paste

You will require three tablespoons of red or yellow curry paste. This ingredient adds depth and a kick of flavor to your dish; adjust according to your spice preference.

Garlic

Two cloves of minced garlic are essential for aroma and flavor. Garlic enhances the overall taste profile and complements the other ingredients perfectly.

Onion

One medium onion should be finely chopped. Onions add sweetness and depth to the dish as they sauté and soften during cooking.

Bell Pepper

One medium bell pepper (red or yellow) should be sliced thinly. It adds color, crunch, and a slight sweetness that balances the spices in the curry.

Fresh Spinach

About two cups of fresh spinach add nutrition and vibrancy to your dish. When cooked down, spinach wilts perfectly and blends well with the other flavors.

Olive Oil

You will need two tablespoons of olive oil for cooking. It serves as a base for sautéing your ingredients before adding them to the curry.

Salt and Pepper

To taste—these common seasonings enhance all flavors in your dish without overpowering them.
