Ingredients

    1 1/2 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 teaspoon(s) curry powder
    1 can(s) (12 - 14 oz.) unsweetened coconut milk
    1 can(s) (8 oz.) canned, diced tomatoes
    2 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
    1 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    3 cup(s) (packed) fresh baby spinach
    1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

Directions

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook the onion, stirring often, until soft (about 7 minutes). Add the curry powder and continue stirring for 1 minute more.

Stir in the coconut milk, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add the chicken, stir well, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add more salt to taste.
