Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite size chunks, boneless, skinless
- ¼ cup green curry paste
- 1 tablespoon garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass grated
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 small yellow onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cored and thinly sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk full-fat
- 3 cups snow peas
- ¼ cup basil Thai basil if you can find it, fresh, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 4 cups rice for serving, cooked
Instructions
- In a deep 12-inch skillet, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and set over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot and melted, add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes until the outside is no longer pink. Remove from the skillet, put on a plate, and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil, green curry paste, grated garlic, grated ginger, and grated lemongrass. Mix well.
- Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes or just until they start to soften. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Add in the coconut milk, snow peas and the chicken. Simmer until all the ingredients are warmed through and the snow peas just start to soften - about 5 minutes. You don't want to the coconut milk to boil so just keep it at a gentle simmer.
- Once the curry is done remove from the heat and stir in the basil and lime juice.
- Serve hot over rice.
