Ingredients Needed
Here is what you need to grab from the grocery store for this lovely dinner:
- One pound of chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
- Two tablespoons of green curry paste
- One can of full fat coconut milk
- One red bell pepper, sliced thin
- One cup of fresh bamboo shoots
- One zucchini, sliced into half moons
- Two tablespoons of fish sauce
- One tablespoon of brown sugar
- Three cloves of garlic, minced
- One small onion, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves for topping
- Cooked jasmine rice for serving
Step By Step Making
Let us cook this amazing dish step by step. Just follow these simple numbers and you will be fine.
- First, get a large skillet or pot and put it over medium heat. Add a little bit of cooking oil to the pan.
- Add your minced garlic and sliced onion to the hot pan. Cook them for about two minutes until they smell really good.
- Add the green curry paste right into the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir it around for one minute so the paste gets warm and releases its flavors.
- Add your chicken pieces to the pan. Cook the chicken for about five minutes until the outside is no longer pink.
- Pour in half of the coconut milk. Stir everything together and let it bubble for a few minutes.
- Add your sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and bamboo shoots into the pot. Stir well to coat the veggies in the tasty curry sauce.
- Pour in the rest of the coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the brown sugar. Give it a nice gentle stir.
- Turn the heat down to low, put a lid on the pot, and let it simmer for ten to fifteen minutes. This helps the chicken get tender and lets all the flavors mix together.
- Take the lid off, turn off the heat, and throw in your fresh basil leaves.
- Spoon your warm green curry over a big bowl of fluffy jasmine rice and eat up!
