Thai Green Curry with Chicken

Remove the thick coconut cream from the top of one of the cans of coconut milk and heat it in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Once it has melted mix in curry paste. Allow to simmer until fragrant and fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid scorching.

Add sliced chicken. Make sure pieces are small enough to eat without cutting. Saute chicken until cooked, about 5 minutes. Reduce to a low simmer.

Cut lemon grass in half and tenderize with the back of a knife until slightly crushed and broken. Add lemongrass, remaining 1.5 cans of coconut milk, lime leaves, broth, fish sauce, ginger, and soy sauce to sauce pan. Simmer for about 20 minutes until fragrant and slightly thickened.

Add bell pepper, lime juice, zest and peas. Simmer until peppers are tender and bright green, about 5 minutes.

Serve over rice. If desired, freshen the flavor with additional lime juice and zest, thai basil, or mint leaves immediately before serving.
