Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon curry paste, or more to taste
½ cup frozen peas
2 cups hot cooked rice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

Warm coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add curry paste and stir to combine. Add chicken and cook for about 8 minutes. Add frozen peas; cook and stir until peas are heated through, and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve with rice and garnish with basil and cilantro.
