2 tsp butter (or dairy-free alternative)
300g skinless chicken breast 2cm diced

Place rice, water and salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Melt butter in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat and saute chicken for a few minutes to brown. Remove from saucepan and set aside.
Add onion to hot saucepan and saute for 4-5 minutes to soften.
Stir through carrots, garlic and spices and cook for a few more minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
Add passata and stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add chicken, return to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Adjust seasoning.
Remove from heat and stir through spinach and yogurt.
Divide chicken and rice between bowls and scatter with fresh coriander to serve.
