Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon green curry paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen green peas
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
- Stir in the curry paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the chicken to the pot and stir to coat it in the spice mixture. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and add the carrots and green peas.
- Simmer the curry for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve the Thai green curry chicken hot over rice or with naan bread.
Tips:
- You can adjust the level of spice in this recipe by using more or less curry paste. For a spicier dish, use more paste, and for a milder dish, use less.
- You can also add some other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, potatoes, or cauliflower. Just add them along with the carrots and green peas in step 3.
- For a thicker curry, you can increase the amount of coconut milk in the recipe. Just make sure to stir it well so that it is fully combined with the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a creamier curry, you can add some heavy cream or coconut cream to the pot along with the coconut milk.
