Ingredients:
For the Green Curry Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons green curry paste
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces pasta noodles (such as spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Crushed peanuts, for garnish (optional)
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste. In a separate skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet used for cooking the chicken, add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Add the cooked chicken and pasta noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the green curry sauce over the chicken and pasta, tossing to coat evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until everything is heated through.
- Serve the Thai-Inspired Green Curry Chicken Pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and crushed peanuts (if using).
- Enjoy the delightful fusion of Thai flavors and Italian comfort in every delicious bite!
