Description
Ground Chicken Green Thai Curry is a creamy, flavorful dinner made with ground chicken, green curry paste, coconut milk, fresh vegetables, and lime for a quick Thai-inspired meal that is perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 can coconut milk, 13.5 ounces
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup fresh basil or cilantro, chopped
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned and no longer pink.
4. Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 1 minute so the flavor blooms.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar until smooth.
6. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is slightly thickened.
7. Stir in the lime juice and fresh basil or cilantro.
8. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice.
Notes
Ground chicken cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking it or it can lose some tenderness.
If you want a spicier curry, add an extra spoonful of green curry paste or a few sliced Thai chilies.
A squeeze of fresh lime at the end makes the coconut curry taste brighter and more balanced.
