Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup green curry paste (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar (palm sugar is preferred, but granulated sugar works too)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup bamboo shoots, drained
• 1/4 cup Thai basil leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

 * Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.

 * Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

 * Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

 * Stir in the fish sauce and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

 * Add the red bell pepper and bamboo shoots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.

 * Stir in the Thai basil leaves just before serving.

 * Serve the Thai green curry chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro, if desired.

Tips and Variations

For a spicier curry, use more green curry paste or add some chopped Thai chilies.

You can substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or mushrooms.

Add some tofu for a vegetarian option.

Serve with roti bread instead of rice for a different twist.

For a richer flavor, use a good quality green curry paste. Mae Ploy and Maesri are popular brands.
