Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons green curry paste*
  • 3 ounces trimmed green beans, cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 (13-ounce) can coconut milk (shake vigorously before opening)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 (8-ounce) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained and rinsed*
  • ¼ cup chopped basil leaves

Instructions

  • Cut the cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and set aside. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.

  • Let simmer until heated through and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir half of the basil into he curry mixture.
  • To serve, ladle the chicken and sauce over basmati rice and garnish with the remaining basil. To add a little more heat, add Sriracha over the top (optional).
