Chicken curry in a hurry!

Serves 2


I love chicken curry - its such wholesome food. This recipe is really quick and easy. Most of the ingredients I keep stock of in my pantry. 


Penut oil
Chicken breasts
Green curry paste
Lime leaves
Green beans
Coconut milk
Basmati rice


Its preferable to use a wok, but if you don't have one a flying pan will do. Throw in a tablespoon or so of penut oil and 2 thinly sliced (strips) chicken breasts. Toss around the pan until it begins to brown. Reduce the heat and add 2 - 3 teaspoons of green curry paste (available at most supermarkets), 2 handfulls of fine green beans (diced) and a couple of lime or lemon leaves. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix about half a cup of chicken stock and throw into the wok. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in a cup or so of coconut cream. 


Serve with rice - basmati is best.
