Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 -3 tablespoons fish stock
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 -2 chicken bouillon cube
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, chiffonade
  • 1/2 cup frozen English peas
  • 1/2 cup canned water chestnut
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 2 limes, quartered

Method

  • In the bottom of a pot, stir together the red curry paste and a little coconut milk to combine.
  • Saute the chicken until cooked through.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer 10 minutes or so, or until the peas are cooked and the sauce has reduced and thickened to desired consistency.
  • Serve over hot cooked basmati or white rice.
  • (I have added about a quart of chicken broth to this base recipe to make soup- adding thinly sliced mushrooms and scallions) Serve with wedges of lime.
