Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tbsp Panang curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced, any color)
  • 1 cup basil leaves (Thai basil preferred)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp red chili (sliced, adjust to taste)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and cut chicken and vegetables.

    Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add chicken and cook until browned.

    Don't overcrowd the pan for even cooking.
  3. Add Aromatics

    Add ginger and garlic to the pan, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Incorporate Curry Paste

    Stir in the Panang curry paste and cook for another minute.

    This helps to release the flavors.
  5. Add Liquids

    Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth, and stir well.

    Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Mix in Vegetables

    Add bell peppers and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

  7. Finish with Herbs

    Stir in basil leaves and lime juice just before serving.

    Garnish with crushed peanuts for extra crunch.
