Ingredients
- 15 ml (1 Tbsp) olive oil
- 75–100 g (½ small) onion, chopped
- 400 ml (1 can) lite coconut milk
- 45 ml (3 Tbsp) vegetable or chicken stock
- 15 ml (1 Tbsp) soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free)
- 110–120 g (1 jar) green curry paste (adjust to taste for heat level)
- 300–400 g (2 cups) chopped mixed vegetables (white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, bell peppers, etc.)
- 340 g (¾ lb) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving (about 300–400 g cooked rice / 150–200 g uncooked)
Optional: 5–10 ml (1–2 tsp) brown sugar (mentioned in original directions)
Instructions
- Sauté the onion
Heat the 15 ml olive oil in a medium to large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. - Build the sauce
Stir in the 400 ml lite coconut milk, 45 ml stock, 15 ml soy sauce/tamari, green curry paste, and brown sugar (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring well to combine. - Add chicken and vegetables
Reduce heat to low. Add the 340 g chicken pieces and 300–400 g chopped vegetables. Stir to coat everything in the sauce. - Simmer
Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 74°C / 165°F) and the vegetables are tender but not mushy. - Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon over hot jasmine rice and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh Thai basil or cilantro if desired.
Tips for Success
- Spice level — Green curry paste varies in heat. Start with less and add more to suit your family’s preference.
- Vegetable choices — Use firmer veggies like potatoes and carrots that hold up well during simmering. Add quicker-cooking ones (like green beans or spinach) toward the end.
- Make it richer — Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier sauce.
- Meal prep — This recipe reheats beautifully. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Variations — Swap chicken for shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas for a different protein option.
This one-pot green curry is aromatic, satisfying, and loaded with fresh vegetables — a true weeknight winner that tastes like it came from your favorite Thai restaurant!
