Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Trim and halve the green beans.
- Slice the zucchini into half-moons.
- Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, give a short spray of cooking spray oil to lightly coat the bottom.
- Add the diced chicken breasts to the pan and cook. Stir occasionally until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of curry paste with the onions. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to blend.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juices. Stir well to combine.
- Add the green beans and zucchini slices to the pan. Stir to mix the vegetables with the sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Return the browned chicken chunks to the pan. Stir well to combine with the sauce and vegetables.
- Add 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1 tbsp of fish sauce, and 2 tsp of brown sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well integrated.
- Let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken. Stir occasionally.
- Once done, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the coriander chicken curry hot, paired with rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a bit of curry paste, lime juice, and fish sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker curry, simmer it longer to reduce the liquid or add a spoonful of coconut milk for added creaminess.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or peas for additional texture and flavor.
- Adjust the heat level according to your preference by choosing a mild or hot curry paste.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or coriander leaves just before serving to enhance the visual appeal and add a fresh, herby touch.
There you have it — a delightful and fragrant Coriander Chicken Curry that's both nutritious and bursting with flavor. Serve it hot with your favorite type of rice or flatbread to soak up the rich curry sauce. Enjoy this dish with your loved ones and savor the harmony of spices and fresh ingredients in every bite.
