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

Directions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cubed chicken breasts to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the red chili powder and ground coriander, cooking for an additional minute to release the spices' flavors.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook until they begin to break down and soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the natural peanut butter until it has melted and is well incorporated with the other ingredients.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the chopped spinach during the last 5 minutes of simmering, allowing it to wilt into the soup.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for added flavor.
