Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, skinless and boneless, cubed
- 120 grams Natural peanut butter
- 1000 ml Chicken broth
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 100 grams Spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 piece Lime, for garnishing
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the cubed chicken breasts to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the red chili powder and ground coriander, cooking for an additional minute to release the spices' flavors.
Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook until they begin to break down and soften, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the natural peanut butter until it has melted and is well incorporated with the other ingredients.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 25 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach during the last 5 minutes of simmering, allowing it to wilt into the soup.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for added flavor.
