Chicken Curry Dinner
Total: 45 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
1 yellow onion, sliced with the grain
2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 teaspoon dried basil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1/2 lime
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
1/4 cup chicken stock
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
Lime wedges, for squeezing
Cook 1 tablespoon of oil, the curry paste, and onions in a large sauté pan over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often. Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and add the remaining oil to the pan. Cook the chicken in the onion-curry mixture until golden on all sides. Add the broccoli, carrots, basil, garlic, and lime zest, and stir until the vegetables are coated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, and tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Squeeze lime juice over the dish before serving.
