Thai Green Chicken Curry
Equipment
- blender
- Chopping board
- Large pan
- Microplane
- Knife
Ingredients
- 150 g thai green curry paste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large bunch fresh coriander plus extra to serve
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 small green chilli seeds removed if you prefer less spicy
- 2 stalks lemongrass roughly chopped
- 2 lime juice & zest
- 1 400g tin coconut milk
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
To add once defrosted
- handful baby corn
- handful sugar snap peas
To serve
- basmati rice or noodles
- lime wedged
- fresh coriander
- thai basil
Instructions
- Place curry paste, coriander, garlic, ginger, chillies, lemongrass, and the zest of 2 limes into a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized strips and fry in a large pan for a few minutes until sealed. Remove from the pan & set aside.
- Add the paste, along with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the same pan and fry for a few minutes until fragrant. Now, add 3 tablespoons coconut cream from the top of the tin to the pan and cook for a few minutes to draw out the oil from the coconut cream.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk and bubble for a few minutes then add the chicken back into the curry sauce. Simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- You can freeze at this point so allow curry to cool completely then portion it into freezer safe containers.
- When needed, leave curry in the fridge overnight to defrost.
- Once defrosted, reheat thoroughly and add some veg of your choice - I like to use baby corn and sugar snap peas for vibrancy.
- Serve the curry with rice or noodles, along with some lime wedges, coriander and Thai basil.
