  • 3/4 cup Jasmine rice
  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup Green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup Red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless cut into bite size pieces

Instructions

  • Cook the rice according to the directions on the package. Once cooked, drain any excess water if needed and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet or deep bottom pan. Sauté the onion and peppers for about 5 minutes. Add in the ginger, garlic, and chicken. Sauté for 5 minutes to brown the chicken pieces.
  • Push everything to one side of the pan. Place the curry paste in the empty side of pan. Stir the paste and fry it in the oil for 1 minute (wait until the oil separates from the paste). Mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in lime zest, lemongrass (or lemon zest), peanut butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg (if using). Cook, stirring regularly for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has become thick and smooth.

  • Garnish with basil leaves. Serve with rice and naan.

Notes

Pro-Tip : Do not skip frying curry paste in oil. Flavors come out and curry turns delicious with this step.
