Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces frozen cut green beans, thawed (recommended: C&W)
  • 8 ounces frozen pepper strips, thawed (recommended: C&W)

For sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth,
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, plus wedges for garnishing
  • Coconut Rice, recipe follows
  • Cilantro sprigs for garnishing

Directions

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add cut up chicken, season and saute until cooked through stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and pepper strips and continue cooking for 3 minutes.

While chicken cooks, start the peanut curry sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Pour sauce into a frying pan over the chicken and vegetables, stir to combine. Turn heat up to high and bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 6 to 8 minutes. Serve over Coconut Rice or plain steamed rice.

Coconut Rice:

3/4 cup light coconut milk (recommended: A Taste of Thai)

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 lime, juiced

2 cups instant rice

1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut, toasted

In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, chicken broth, lime juice, and instant rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and cover for 7 to 9 minutes. Fluff rice with fork and stir in toasted coconut. Serve.

Note: To toast coconut, place in dry frying pan over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until golden brown.

    My daughter and I enjoyed this, though I added some soy sauce and extra curry paste. Good, fast meal.

    I was intimidated by the name of this dish but found out it was soooo easy to make and sooo, so, so good! My husband, whom doesn't like coconut even said he'd eat it again. I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! A plus, my 1 1/2 year old daughter finished her plate! Will definitely make this again!

    I followed the recipe word for word and i was very dissappointed. The flavor was bland. I would not recommend this, even though i love Sandra lee.
