Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 4 ounces mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing your chicken and vegetables. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into thin strips, and quarter the mushrooms.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until it is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the red curry paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until the curry paste is fragrant.
Pour the can of coconut milk into the skillet and stir to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the fish sauce and lime juice. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the curry sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves and cilantro.
Serve the Keto Red Curry with Chicken and Vegetables hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
