Recipe Summary Green Curry Chicken With Yam In Coconut Milk

There are so many chicken curry recipes out there, but this one is really different. It's a combination of spicy, sweet, and herbs in a rich creamy sauce that results in a luscious chicken stew with lots of vegetables. Serve it as a rich soup or stew, or over steamed basmati rice.

Ingredients | Green Curry Chicken

1 yam, peeled and cubed

1 tablespoon peanut oil

½ large green bell pepper, chopped

½ large onion, chopped

½ teaspoon green curry paste, or more to taste

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut milk

¾ cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon fish sauce

2 cups thinly sliced spinach

2 cups thinly sliced basil leaves

Directions

Place yam into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green bell pepper and onion until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Mix remaining 2 teaspoons peanut oil and green curry paste in the wok; stir for 30 seconds.

Increase heat to medium-high; add chicken to the wok and cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in coconut milk, chicken broth, and fish sauce; bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in yam, green bell pepper, and onion; simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir spinach and basil gently into the wok. Simmer, covered, until flavors combine, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Green curry paste (or powder) is quite spicy. Taste and add more until you get the level of heat you like. We like ours very hot with the balance of sweet and creamy from the coconut milk.
