Description

Insanely easy chicken vegetable curry with coconut milk and red curry paste. So flavorful and so perfect for a weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, trimmed of any fat + cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 (15 oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk, full fat
  • 2 Tbsp. red curry paste
  • 1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, ends trimmed + chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled + cut into matchsticks
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until no longer pink on the outside.
  2. Stir in coconut milk, curry paste, peanut butter, and soy sauce.
  3. Add green beans, bell peppers, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Last 5 minutes of cooking, uncover and continue to simmer until the liquid has slightly reduced.
