  • Cooking Instructions:
  • In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped chicken thighs to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, stirring well to coat the chicken and release the spices' aromas.
  • Add the cubed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in the spinach and cook for another 5 minutes until wilted. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving. This dish is packed with vegetables and can count as three of your five-a-day.
  • For a delightful finish, serve the Sweet Potato & Chicken Curry over cooked rice or with warm naan bread.
