Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the ingredients for the curry.

2

Prep the curry ingredients

Prep and cook instructions are identical for both chicken options.
  • Peel and cut the onion into 8 equal wedges, keeping the end of the wedges attached at the root.
  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into 1-inch pieces.
  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans; cut the beans into 2-inch lengths.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken crosswise into 1-inch-thick strips; season generously with salt and pepper.

3

Start the curry

In a large sauce pot over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion, bell pepper, and green curry paste to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

4

Finish the curry

To the pan with the vegetables, stir in the coconut milk, half the fish sauce, and ¾ cup [1½ cups] water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the green beans and chicken and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are crisp-tender and the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and more fish sauce.
When the curry is almost done, prepare the garnish.

5

Prep the garnish

  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

Serve

Transfer the rice and chicken curry to individual bowls, garnish with the basil, and serve.
