Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
- 1 yellow onion, sliced with the grain
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1/2 lime
- 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
- Lime wedges, for squeezing
Directions
Cook 1 tablespoon of the oil, the curry paste and onions in a large saute pan over medium heat, stirring often and letting sizzle, 5 to 6 minutes. Pat the chicken dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the remaining oil to the pan. Cook the chicken in the onion-curry mixture until golden on all sides. Add the broccoli, carrots, basil, garlic and lime zest and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, chicken stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Let the chicken simmer until cooked through and the sauce begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Squeeze with lime juice before serving.

So this was my first attempt at making curry and this turned out fabulous! I used 1/2 the curry paste and added mushrooms but I think I can go a little spicier! I also didn't have a can of diced tomatoes so I added a small can of tomato sauce & it worked just fine!!! Paired this with your coconut scented rice and my whole family enjoyed it!!!! Thanks so much for the recipe! I absolutely LOVE your show!!!

We eat a lot of Thai restaurant food and though I usually love Melissa's recipes, I thought this one was a real miss. The curry needed sweetener to bring in line with Thai curries, and 1 T. of sugar did help. But I suspect it was the additional strong flavors of lime & broccoli that threw it for me.

Absolutely delicious! I added a few more different veggies...mushrooms, squash, orange pepper. I also added some fresh ginger, and chili sauce to the onion mixture, which added some extra kick and flavors. Finally, while simmering at the end, I sprinkled red curry powder to give it a little bit more of an Indian flavor.
