EatingWell: Green curry adds heat to Thai chicken recipe

EatingWell on

1 14-ounce can "lite" coconut milk

2 tablespoons Thai green, red or yellow curry paste

1 tablespoon fish sauce

3 cups sliced bok choy

1 1/2 cups halved green beans, fresh or frozen (thawed)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon lime juice

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and scallions and cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

 

Add sweet potato to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, bok choy and green beans; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in basil and lime juice.
