Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 3–4 cups fresh baby spinach
• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 6–8 cups chicken broth
• juice of 4 limes (about 1/4 cup, plus more to taste)
• a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce (optional)
• fresh herbs for topping (mint, basil, cilantro)
• peanuts or cashews for topping

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and shallots. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken thighs. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and turmeric. Cook, undisturbed, for a few minutes. (Add 1/4 cup water to the pan to create a little steam bath if it’s getting too browned on the bottom.) Flip and repeat until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Add spinach and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove spinach and set aside.
4. Add rice to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes so it picks up all the good pan flavors. Add 6 cups broth and bring to a simmer.
5. While the rice is cooking, shred the chicken.
6. When the rice is soft, add chicken and spinach back to the pan. Season with lime juice, soy sauce / fish sauce, and fresh herbs. Add extra broth as needed. YUM.
