Thai Chicken Curry

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

1 small red onion, sliced

1-2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (we like Mae Ploy)

2 14oz cans unsweetened coconut milk (can be light coconut milk)

2 stalks celery, sliced thin

1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced thin

1 large carrot, sliced thin

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, sliced thin

1 tablespoon fish sauce

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Peanuts

Cilantro

Directions:

Heat oil in large pan, and cook onions until just soft.

Add curry paste and cook till fragrant.

Stir in coconut milk, celery, carrots and bell pepper, bring to a simmer and cook just until vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).

Add chicken and continue to simmer about 10-15 minutes longer, until chicken is cooked through.

Add fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice.

Serve over jasmine rice and top with peanuts and cilantro.

For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with 16 ounces of edamame. Also try substituting brown rice for the jasmine rice for a fiber-rich option.
