  3. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and Thai red curry paste to the onions and stir until onions are coated  in the spices (about 1 minute).

  6. Add the chicken pieces back into the pan and stir to coat evenly. Add chopped cilantro and spinach into the pan and stir to combine all ingredients.
  7. Spoon rice into bowls (if serving over rice). Top with chicken and sauce, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
