- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (approx. 150g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons green curry paste (adjust to taste for spice level)
- 1 (13.5 ounce/400ml) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth (240ml)
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced (approx. 150g)
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced (approx. 150g)
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed (approx. 100g)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, for umami)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or palm sugar)
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Optional: 1-2 Thai bird chiles, finely minced (for extra heat)
- Cooked jasmine rice (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in green curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Add bell peppers and snow peas. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in fish sauce (if using), lime juice, and brown sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over jasmine rice. Enjoy your thai chicken curry!
