Best Chicken Green Curry With Basil Recipes

GREEN CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. Saute the onion and green peppers for 3 minutes to soften. Split the piece of lemongrass down the middle and whack it with the flat side of a knife to open the flavor. Add the lemongrass, ginger, curry paste and lime leaves to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Lay the chicken pieces in the mixture to poach; add a pinch of salt. Stir together and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice and shower with basil and cilantro; serve in dinner bowls with lime wedges.
• Heat the coriander, cumin seeds, and peppercorns in a small dry skillet for 2 minutes until fragrant. Put the seeds in a clean coffee grinder or spice mill and buzz the spices to a powder.
• Put the spice blend and remaining ingredients in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Pour in the water to help grind everything down into a paste.

• While chicken is cooking, place baby corn and bamboo shots in a small saucepan, cover with water, and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Drain then cover with water again.
• Pour coconut milk into the wok. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain corn and bamboo shoots and add in. Stir in fish sauce, palm sugar, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring back up to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper strips and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Remove curry from heat and stir in Thai basil.

Allow to simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.

CLASSIC THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place all the "green curry paste" ingredients together in a food processor and process to a paste. If needed, add a few tablespoons of coconut milk (the lower liquid part of the can) to help blend ingredients. Set aside.
• Prepare the lime leaves by tearing the leaf away from either side of the stem. Discard the central stem. Then using scissors, cut leaves into thin strips. Set aside.
• Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry briefly to release the fragrance (1 minute), then add 3/4 of the coconut milk, reserving roughly 1/4 for later.
• Add the chicken, stirring to incorporate. When the curry sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium or medium-low, until you get a nice simmer. Cover and allow to simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir occasionally.
• Add the zucchini and tomatoes, plus the strips of the lime leaf (or lime zest), stirring well to incorporate. Simmer another 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are softened but still formed and colorful.
• Do a taste-test for salt, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons fish sauce if not salty enough. If you prefer a sweeter curry, add a little more sugar. If too salty or sweet for your taste, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. If too spicy, add more coconut milk. Note that this curry should be a balance of salty, spicy, sweet and sour, plus bitter.
• Serve in bowls with rice on the side, allowing guests to add their own. Top each portion with a drizzle of 2 to 3 tablespoons reserved coconut milk, plus a sprinkling of fresh basil. Additional chopped red or green chile can be added for those who like it spicy.

GREEN-CURRY CHICKEN WITH PEAS AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon ginger; sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chicken; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mixture to bowl.
• Add coconut milk, broth and curry paste to skillet. Stir until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons basil, cilantro and 1 teaspoon ginger. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until sauce thickens, about 7 minutes. Return chicken mixture to skillet. Add snow peas and green onions; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon rice onto plates. Spoon curry atop rice. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Add the cilantro, mint, red onion, garlic, ginger, and salt, and pepper, to taste, to a food processor or blender. Puree on high until smooth. With the processor running, add about 1/4 cup water, and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste, a.k.a. "masala". Set aside.
• In a large pot or deep skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until golden brown.
• Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds. Pour the masala mixture into skillet and cook, stirring often until it deepens in color and aroma. You'll know it's ready when it looks shiny, little droplets of oil will appear on the surface, and the masala will hold together as a cohesive mass.
• Add the chicken, coating every piece in the masala and stirring often. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, so that the masala really adheres to the chicken. Add about 1 1/2 cups water, just enough to cover the chicken, and the vinegar. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and sauce has thickened slightly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the pan from heat and stir in the yogurt. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve over rice or with warm naan bread.
