Red Curry with Chicken

_{Click the above photo to enlarge}

The combo of coconut milk and cilantro just make this dish one of my favs. I don't have an actual recipe to follow and I never make it the same way twice.

I had some chicken that I needed to use up

I stir fried the chicken in coconut oil for a few minutes until it was brown and then removed it from the pan and set it aside.

Chopped up some garlic

Fried the garlic for a minute

Then added a can of coconut milk

Stirred in 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and one tablespoon of brown sugar. When than came to a boil, I returned the chicken back in.

I got a little lazy and bought carrot noodles

I added a handful of carrots and a handful of frozen peas to the pan. I cooked that all for a couple of minutes until the carrots were soft.

Meanwhile I had chopped up some cilantro, basil and scallions

I added the green stuff to the pan and gave it a good stir.

And there you go! Pretty quick and easy.

I portioned it out into individual serving bowls

Served on a bed of basmati rice

Enjoy!
