Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 14 ounces Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Green curry paste
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 can (8 ounces) Bamboo shoots
- 4 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
- 0.5 cup Thai basil leaves
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Jasmine rice, cooked
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat from the boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and stir it constantly for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the coconut milk and curry mixture. Allow the chicken to cook for 5-7 minutes until it is no longer pink in the center.
Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Add the bamboo shoots, kaffir lime leaves, red bell pepper, and green peas to the skillet. Stir and let the vegetables cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Thai basil leaves.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the curry and give it a final stir.
Serve the green curry chicken immediately over jasmine rice, garnishing with additional Thai basil leaves if desired.
