Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Zest and quarter lemon. Roughly chop spinach. Roughly chop cilantro.
- Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the curry powder (you’ll use more in Step 3), salt, and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: If chicken begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium and cover.
-
In the last minute of cooking, reduce heat to medium; stir in stock concentrate and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Spoon butter mixture over chicken to coat.
-
Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
-
While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, ¼ tsp remaining curry powder, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of lemon zest (½ tsp remaining curry powder and a big squeeze of lemon juice for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the curry powder—we sent more!) Season with salt.
-
Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
-
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine spinach, grain blend, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until spinach has wilted and grains are tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4 servings); taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
-
Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
-
Divide loaded grains between shallow bowls; top with chicken. Drizzle chicken with sauce and garnish with cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The curry-spiced chicken and creamy sauce earned plenty of praise, though some found the overall dish mild and wanted more heat 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Most found it quick and straightforward; one reviewer precooked the chicken ahead of time for even easier assembly.
- Suggestions: Add garlic powder to the grain mixture for a flavor boost, and consider cooking the grains on the stovetop instead of the microwave for better taste. If the stock clumps in the butter, keep the heat low and stir patiently until it combines.
- Leftovers: Leftover spinach and grains made an amazing frittata the next morning, according to one creative reviewer 🎉.
