Thai Coconut Chicken and Rice image

I always get the coconut chicken soup when I go to a Thai restaurant. I love the combination of flavors! This is a dish that can be served over white or basmati rice or made thinner by adding additional chicken broth and turned into a soup. Add some paper thin sliced mushrooms and scallions at last minute if you're making the soup. This is also really good with shrimp. Do watch that red curry paste, though- it's spicy!!!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 -3 tablespoons fish stock
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 -2 chicken bouillon cube
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, chiffonade
1/2 cup frozen English peas
1/2 cup canned water chestnut
1/2-1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
2 limes, quartered

Steps:

  • In the bottom of a pot, stir together the red curry paste and a little coconut milk to combine.
  • Saute the chicken until cooked through.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer 10 minutes or so, or until the peas are cooked and the sauce has reduced and thickened to desired consistency.
  • Serve over hot cooked basmati or white rice.
  • (I have added about a quart of chicken broth to this base recipe to make soup- adding thinly sliced mushrooms and scallions) Serve with wedges of lime.
