Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil or olive oil
  • 1 lb Skinless boneless chicken breast sliced
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves finely grated
  • 2 Tsp Fresh Ginger finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp Lemongrass paste
  • 14 oz Coconut milk 1 can
  • 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 Large Zucchini cut into half-moons
  • 1 Green Pepper chopped
  • 1 Cup Frozen green peas thawed
  • 1 Cup Fresh or frozen green beans (thawed if frozen), cut into 1.5'' pieces

OPTIONAL GARNISHES:

  • 1-2 Scallions thinly sliced to garnish
  • 1-2 Freshly chopped cilantro to garnish
  • 1 Jalapeño or green chili thinly sliced to garnish
  • Lime wedges, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium pot or skillet over medium-high heat. 
  • Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sear until golden on the sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add in garlic, ginger and lemongrass paste and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
  • Add coconut milk, fish sauce, mix and bring to simmer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is reduced.
  • Stir in veggies, and continue to cook for 2-4 minutes, until just softens. Take off the heat and serve next to cooked brown rice.
  • Add garnishes of choice and enjoy!

  • Use green curry paste instead of ginger and lemongrass paste.
