Ingredients
•
3 tablespoons canola oil
•
1/2 cup sliced fresh ginger
•
1 (5 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
•
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Directions
1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and stir in ginger. Cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove ginger and set aside.
2
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the same skillet over medium-high heat without crowding. Cook until chicken is lightly brown on all sides.
3
Return ginger to the skillet and add coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then cover with the lid tilted to allow steam to escape. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone, about 30 minutes.
4
Stir in spinach and simmer uncovered until spinach is warmed through, 8 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
