Green Chicken Curry Recipe

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Total cooking time: 25 minutes
Recipe serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, chopped
1-2 table spoons Green Curry Paste

½ cup water

500g chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces

100g green beans, cut into short pieces

6 kaffir lime leaves

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon finely grated lime rind

2 teaspoons soft brown sugar

¼ cup fresh coriander leaves

Method

1. Heat the oil in a wok or a heavy-based pan. Add the onion and curry paste to the wok and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the coconut milk and water to the wok and bring to the boil.

2. Add the chicken pieces, beans and kaffir lime leaves to the wok; stir to combine. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Add the fish sauce, lime juice and rind, and brown sugar to the wok; stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves just before serving.

3. Serve with rice.

Note

Chicken thigh fillets are sweet in flavour and a very good texture for curries. You can use breast fillets instead, if you prefer. Do not overcook fillets or they will be tough.
