Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-size pieces. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 cups cauliflower florets and 2 tbsp curry powder. Stir to coat everything in the spice. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the 1 cup tomato sauce and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 2 cups spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the curry over the 2 cups cooked rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and red chili slices if you like.
