How to Make Green Thai Chicken Coconut Curry
  1. Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Slice the bell peppers and zucchini, then mince the garlic and ginger.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces along with the green curry paste to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is fully coated and turns white on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  4. Gradually pour in the coconut milk while gently stirring. Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini, letting it all simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce or tamari and freshly squeezed lime juice, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Toss in the fresh basil just before serving.
