My husband got a big pack of chicken breasts from Costco over the weekend so I figured there is no time like the present to get started on my resolution. I felt like making some kind of spicy Thai curry but the puppy and a plumber prevented me from getting to the grocery store, so I had to make do with what I had on hand. Basically what I'm saying is, don't take my recipe literally - use it as inspiration, but there are much better green curry recipes out there. I wanted to follow them, I just didn't have a lot of the ingredients. What I would have liked to have added was some fresh ginger, some thai basil, some fish sauce perhaps, some scallions, and some bell peppers. It did turn out delicious, and it felt great to have something that warmed up our throats and our tummies on such a cold evening. Sometimes, after eating a lot of pasta (like last week) I just crave a big bowl of steaming hot rice with a rich curry poured on top.
1 small bunch cilantro
2 chicken breasts, pounded slightly, sliced and cubed
1 small onion (any kind is fine)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T ginger paste
1/2 green chili
1 T lemon grass powder
1 cup chicken broth
1 small can coconut milk (I had a 5.5 oz on hand)
1/4 cup fresh shredded coconut
1 t red curry paste
Wash cilantro and chop off long stems, but keep the remainder. Throw into blender with fresh shredded coconut and chicken broth and puree. Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pot and sautee onion until soft. Add ginger paste and then fresh garlic, sautee. Pour green cilantro sauce in, add fresh chili and lemon grass powder and let come to a boil. Add chicken pieces and let cook. Pour in coconut milk and then red curry paste. Let this all cook. Add a little water or chicken broth if you want to thin it out.
