4 servings

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon green curry paste
1 (15 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup snow peas
1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
½ cup bamboo shoots
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
½ lemon, juiced

Instructions

Step 1
Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2
Stir chicken into the hot skillet and season with salt and pepper. Mix in curry paste. Brown chicken on both sides, about 10 minutes total.

Step 3
Pour in coconut milk, chicken broth, snow peas, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and bamboo shoots. Season with cinnamon and stir well. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil and lemon juice.
