Before You Start

Cut the cauliflower into florets, rinse the spinach, grate the ginger, and mince the garlic.

How To Make It
  1. Coat the chicken breast in the greek yogurt, garam masala, ginger, and garlic and let it sit 10 minutes.
  2. Warm a splash of water in a nonstick pan over medium heat, about 1 minute, until it steams.
  3. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, 12 to 14 minutes, until the juices run clear and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
    165°F
  4. Move the chicken to a board to rest 5 minutes, then slice it.
  5. Steam the cauliflower and spinach, 5 to 6 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork tender.
  6. Plate the vegetables, top with the sliced chicken, and serve.
Fix It: If the yogurt coating browns too fast in the pan, lower the heat a notch so the chicken cooks through without scorching.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
