Thai Green Coconut Curry Chicken with Rice Noodles

What do I do when I am feeling sick? I make noodles. I dig in the fridge until I can find ingredients that work together and throw them into a wok. Mix in the ingredients with the thin noodles that I find in my kitchen cupboard and I get a comforting meal. Easy-peasy and in my belly in 15 minutes.

Now onto the recipe.

Yield: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Minimal effort, maximum Thai flavours. This recipe has a bit of a spicy kick due to the addition of the aromatic green curry paste. The coconut milk gives the noodles a rich creaminess, and the green herbs provides a flavourful freshness to this easy meal.

Ingredients

  • 100 grams vermicelli rice noodles
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 small bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 2 tbsp Thai basil leaves
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 1 tbsp green curry paste

Instructions

  1. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl of hot boiled water. Use tongs to separate noodles.

  4. Stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, lime juice, and green curry paste and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Drain the rice noodles and mix it into the other ingredients. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
