This recipe has got to be one of the most requested by my husband ever! I have to admit that I love it too, but it feels amazing when someone else loves a dish you make. You feel kind of like a little gourmet chef in your own home. This dinner offers the delicious flavors of Thai food, and I have to say, it tastes just like a dish that we used to order from a favorite restaurant of ours. Who knew it could be so delicious, easy, and processed free!
3 chicken breasts cut into small thin strips
1 to 3 Tbsp. green curry paste (less = mild, more = spicy)
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 can coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 can bamboo shoots
3/4 cup frozen peas
In a large pan, brown the chicken in a little bit of coconut oil. Make sure to season with salt and pepper. Once it's cooked, make a space in the middle to sauté the curry paste mixture. Add the curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk, and chicken broth. Stir until the sauce has combined then add the bamboo shoots. Allow the sauce and chicken to simmer for 15 minutes to concentrate the flavors and thicken. In the last few minutes, add the frozen peas to warm them through. Serve with brown rice.
You may want left overs because this tastes just as good if not better the next day. Feel free to add some cooked potatoes and garnish with shaved cucumber. Now all I need to do is finish the dinner with some coconut ice cream with chopped peanuts and we have a complete date night at home!
*Note: If you are trying to go grain free, this is delicious on it's own or over quinoa instead of rice.
