Thai Green Curry Chicken

Posted 2014-02-07 by Sarah B ⇒ follow

Thai green curry is a favourite at Thai restaurants. In this easy to make version, your dish will be as popular as the restaurant version and you can make it in the time it would take to order and pick up a take away for a fraction of the cost.

There is no added chilli in this version, so it ends up on the mild side of medium. If you prefer your green curries hot, add a few slices of chilli in when you're cooking the brown onion and it can be as hot as you like. If using curry paste, you can just add more curry paste to make it hotter.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
800 g diced chicken breast
Philadelphia cream for curry Thai Green Curry (see image below, can be substituted for green curry paste)

Now put the cream for curry in, or the green curry paste if you are using it, and mix to combine. If using green curry paste, allow this to fry for a couple of minutes before adding coconut milk.

Next, add coconut milk if using it.

Coconut milk adds a fragrant flavour that isn't present in the cream for curry.
