CURRY CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHICKPEAS AND SPINACH
This entire dish is built for flavor - and ease. An ideal ingredient for quick weeknight meals, chicken breasts can be pounded thin, so they'll cook quickly and evenly. Here, the cutlets are dusted in flour to create a delicate, golden crust that seals in moisture, and flavored with Madras curry powder, an Indian spice blend featuring coriander, turmeric, chiles, cumin, fennel, garlic and ginger. Toasting it in oil brings out all its warmth and richness. The curried chickpeas make a wonderful side dish on their own, and would pair just as well with another meat or fish.
