Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced thin

  • 2–3 tablespoons green curry paste (adjust to taste)

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat for best texture)

  • ½ cup chicken broth or water

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 zucchini or green beans, sliced

  • 1 cup baby spinach or Thai basil leaves

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sliced chili, or extra Thai basil

  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the chicken:
    Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and mostly cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté the curry paste:
    In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Make the sauce:
    Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to dissolve the curry paste. Add fish sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  • Add veggies and chicken:
    Add sliced bell pepper and zucchini (or green beans). Simmer for 5 minutes until just tender. Return the chicken to the pan and cook until fully cooked through.

  • Finish the curry:
    Stir in baby spinach or Thai basil and let wilt. Squeeze in fresh lime juice, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

 

  • Serve:
    Spoon curry over rice and top with fresh herbs, chili slices, or a squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • Start with 2 tablespoons of curry paste and add more for extra heat.

  • For a vegetarian version, swap chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.

  • Add bamboo shoots or mushrooms for extra texture.
