Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp green curry paste
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add the 1 tbsp vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

  2. 2

    Add the 1 tbsp green curry paste to the hot oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are browned on the outside but not yet fully cooked through.

  4. 4

    Pour in the 1 cup coconut milk and stir to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Add the chopped 1 cup mixed vegetables and 1 tbsp fish sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer for food safety.

  8. 8

    Stir in the 1/4 tsp sugar and continue to cook for another minute.

  9. 9

    Just before serving, stir in the 1/4 tsp lime juice and most of the chopped 1/4 cup fresh basil, reserving some for garnish.

  10. 10

    Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with the remaining fresh herbs.
