🛒 Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) light coconut milk
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves (Thai basil preferred)
  • 2 cups bell peppers (green, red, or yellow), sliced
  • 1.5 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 green Thai chilies, sliced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat coconut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add Thai green curry paste and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices and release their essential oils.
3. Add the light coconut milk gradually while stirring, creating a smooth curry base. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat with the curry sauce. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until chicken is partially cooked.
5. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir and continue simmering for 6-8 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and chicken is fully cooked through.
6. Season with fish sauce and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves until just wilted. Top with sliced green Thai chilies if desired.
8. Serve immediately over cauliflower rice or brown rice for a complete Fat Switch meal.
