I love most Thai food, and this dish was inspired by my having a load of fresh basil on my counter I needed to use. You can make it as spicy as you like - my husband and I have a high "heat" tolerance, so this is very "hot. Read more " Adapt to your taste. Although, "curry hot" is different than "chile hot" - makes your eyes water and clears your sinuses for sure, but goes away sooner, kind of like horseradish. (in my opinion) Enjoy! See less
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (I use sweet) shopping list
- 1 tsp. minced garlic (or 1 Tbls. fresh, smashed) shopping list
- 1 Tbls. olive oil shopping list
- 1 Tbls. red curry paste (I used more, but it was VERY hot, so use to your taste) (if you don't have paste, McCormack makes a red curry powder now) shopping list
- 1 cup chicken broth shopping list
- 1 can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai - Lite) shopping list
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped(I used fire roasted, jarred, this time because I didn't have a raw one, I prefer the brightness of the fresh, but either will do) shopping list
- Chopped fresh mushrooms (I used 4 large white) shopping list
- Fresh chopped basil (about 1/2 cup) shopping list
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or long grain white, whatever you like) shopping list
How to make it
- Slice and chop chicken breasts into bite size pieces
- Chop onion and bell pepper, set aside
- Start water for rice and cook accordingly.
- Heat olive oil in large fry pan, add chicken, onion, (and bell pepper, if using raw) and garlic and cook over medium heat (salt to taste)
- Add red curry paste and incorporate
- This is where I sprinkle with Wondra flour (not necessary, but I like my sauce thicker)
- Add chicken broth, red bell pepper, basil, mushrooms, and coconut milk
- Simmer till mushrooms are al dente and sauce is thickened to your liking
- Serve over rice.
