Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (organic, free-range preferred)
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Can (14 oz.) Light Coconut Milk for a thicker consistency use Regular Coconut Milk – note, using regular coconut milk will add about 100 calories per serving due to the higher fat content
- 1 tsp Fish Sauce (vegans/vegetarians – use 2 tsp Coconut Aminos)
- 2 tsp Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
- Juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed Lime
- 1/2 Cup Chopped White Onion
- 1 Cup Organic Broccoli
- 1 Sliced Red Bell Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Snow Peas
- 1/2 Cup Sliced Leeks
- Half a Handful of Thai Basil with purple stems removed (our local store refers to this as “Taiwan Basil”. If you can’t find Thai Basil, Italian Basil will be fine)
- Options – add extra fish sauce or coconut aminos for flavor, if necessary. Also, consider garnishing with fresh green onions.
