Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g spaghetti
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp green curry paste
- 500 g chicken breast
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 100 g baby spinach
- 1 piece red chili (optional, sliced for garnish)
- 20 g fresh Thai basil leaves
- 1 piece lime
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the green curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned on the outside.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring to combine with the curry paste.
Add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Stir well, then reduce the heat and let the curry simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Add the baby spinach to the curry and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Squeeze in the juice of half a lime for freshness and adjust seasoning with additional fish sauce or sugar if needed.
Divide the cooked spaghetti into serving bowls, then ladle the Thai green chicken curry on top.
Garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves, sliced red chili (if using), and lime wedges on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
