Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 2 tablespoon gluten-free Thai green curry paste
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into large matchstick pieces
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup canned light unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 bag (12 oz) frozen sugar snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 4 cups hot cooked brown rice
  • 2 sprigs basil, leaves cut thinly

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add shallots and curry paste; stir about 3 minutes or until shallots become translucent. Add bell pepper; continue to cook about 3 minutes longer or until soft.
  • 2
    In small bowl, beat 1/4 cup of the broth and the cornstarch with whisk; set aside.
  • 3
    To mixture in skillet, add remaining broth, coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce and soy sauce. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Add chicken and frozen peas; return to boiling. Cook and stir 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. During last 2 minutes of cook time, stir in cornstarch mixture; cook until thickened. Stir in lime juice.
  • 4
    Spoon hot rice into 8 serving bowls, and ladle curry on top. Garnish with basil.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be substituted for the chicken thighs.
  • tip 2
    This recipe also works well with shrimp instead of chicken--just add them in a little later in the cooking process, after the peas, but a couple of minutes before the lime juice.
