For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred level of spiciness. Add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or bamboo shoots for extra texture and flavor. Serve with steamed rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic and garam masala for a few hours prior to cooking enhances the flavor considerably.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepSear the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. (8 minutes)
03
StepCreate the Curry Base: Reduce heat to medium. Add green onions and curry paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant. (1 minute)
04
StepBuild the Sauce: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and return to a boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes more. (20 minutes)
05
StepFinish and Serve: Stir in lime juice and any accumulated chicken juices. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. (2 minutes)
