Green Curry Chicken

Total time:
40 minutes

Green curry chicken is peak Thai comfort food. A little spicy, a little creamy and a little sweet, this classic stew is surprisingly easy to make (provided you’ve already made the green curry paste… 😉) and will take less time than ordering take-out from a restaurant. The coconut cream helps balance out the aggressive spice levels of the other ingredients, setting this potent flavor profile in perfect harmony. Serve over rice and enjoy this fragrant flavor bomb!
