Thai Green Chicken Curry with Vegetables is a fragrant, creamy dish featuring tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and a bold green curry coconut sauce. It’s easy to make and pairs perfectly with jasmine rice for a comforting, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion or 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger or galangal
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini or 1 cup green beans, chopped
  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1–2 tbsp fish sauce (to taste)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Fresh basil or Thai basil leaves
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Steamed jasmine rice, for serving
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, sliced red chilies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in green curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release flavor.
  4. Pour in coconut milk and stir until well combined. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add sliced chicken and cook until just cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Add bell peppers, zucchini or green beans, and carrots. Simmer until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5–8 minutes.
  7. Season with fish sauce and brown sugar, adjusting to taste.
  8. Stir in fresh basil just before turning off the heat.
  9. Serve curry hot over jasmine rice with lime wedges and optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Substitute tofu or shrimp for chicken for variety.
  • Add extra veggies like mushrooms, snap peas, or baby corn.
  • Use a splash of coconut cream for extra richness.
  • Store in fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently on stove or microwave.
  • Adjust spice level by using more or less curry paste or adding chili oil.
