Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
Start curry
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
  • Add chicken and shallots. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until chicken is golden and shallots are almost tender.
  • Add curry paste, tomato sauce base and half the garlic.
  • Cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until shallots are tender and spices are fragrant.
  •  It's okay if chicken doesn't cook all the way through. Chicken will continue cooking in step 4. **
Cook chickpeas
4
  • To the pan with shallots, add chickpeas with canning liquid, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. 
  • Using a potato masher, roughly mash chickpeas. 
  • Cook for 7-8 min, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens slightly. (TIP: If needed, reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer.) 
  • Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Add spinach, then stir until wilted, 1-2 min. 
Warm flatbread
5
  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add remaining garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Arrange flatbread on an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets.)
  • Brush the tops of flatbread with garlic oil. Broil in the middle of the oven for 2-3 min, until warmed through. (NOTE: For 4 servings, broil one sheet of flatbread at a time.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the cilantro and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
  • Tear flatbreads in half. 
  • Divide cilantro rice and spiced chickpeas between bowls. 
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
  • Dollop yogurt sauce over top.
  • Serve flatbreads on the side.

Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until chicken is golden and shallots slightly softened. It's okay if chicken doesn't cook all the way through. Chicken will continue cooking in step 4. ** Proceed with remaining instructions as written.
