Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup baby eggplants, quartered
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 lime, sliced
• Fresh Thai basil leaves for garnish
• Red chili peppers, sliced thin for garnish
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the Thai green curry paste and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar, adjusting the sweetness and saltiness to your taste.
5. Add the baby eggplants, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the curry. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Serve the Thai Green Curry Chicken in bowls, topped with fresh Thai basil leaves and red chili pepper slices. Accompany with steamed jasmine rice and lime slices on the side.

Helpful Tips

To make this recipe easier for beginners, try using pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with tofu or a variety of your favorite vegetables.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

If you cannot find Thai basil, regular basil will also work. For a spicier dish, add extra Thai green curry paste or a few slices of fresh green chili.

Pairings

Thai Green Curry Chicken pairs beautifully with jasmine rice, which soaks up the creamy, flavorful sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving a light Thai cucumber salad or fresh spring rolls on the side. A refreshing Thai iced tea would make a perfect drink to balance the spices.
