- 1 teaspoon cumin (or coriander)
- substitute: 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 6oz (low sodium) canned chicken, drained

Steps
Step 1
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and once hot, add the oil and onion and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the edges of the onion turn brown.
Then add the spices and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes or until fragrant.
Step 2
Add the chicken and pour in the light coconut milk.
Stir and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Add the spinach on top to wilt, then cover and cook for 1 – 2 minutes or until spinach is completely wilted. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 4
If you desire a thicker, creamier curry, simply add arrowroot or cornstarch slurry to the curry and stir immediately to thicken.
Step 5
Let it cool slightly to thicken more, then enjoy with rice or by itself.
Garnish with onion, red chili flakes and/or lime juice.

Just made this. Wouldn’t be able to tell it was canned chicken. Used a 12oz can to have leftovers but didn’t change anything else. Still solid
haha! I had the same reaction about not knowing it was canned. glad it worked for you!
