Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, and paprika, and stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the chicken cubes to the pan and stir well to coat them in the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the reduced-fat coconut milk. Stir until fully combined.
Simmer the curry for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Add the black beans and fresh spinach to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the beans are heated through.
Season the curry with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the curry warm, optionally garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Pair with steamed rice or naan for a complete meal.
