This Indian favorite couldn’t be any easier to prepare during a hectic weeknight. The beauty in its prep is that everything is made in one pot on the stovetop and the chicken is slowly simmered until perfectly tender. The creamy sauce gets its gorgeous red tone from a combination of canned tomato tomatoes, tomato paste, curry and coconut milk which contrasts well with the vibrant green spinach and green peas. To incorporate more veg into this meal, serve over riced cauliflower as a vehicle to soak up the sauce or stir in some cooked cubed butternut squash for a sweeter, heartier addition.
