We packed this classic curry dish with fresh vegetables and used light coconut milk to cut some of the fat. Boil-in-bag jasmine rice saves you time while still providing jasmine rice's signature aroma and moist, tender texture. Ingredients:
2 (3.5-ounce) bags boil-in-bag jasmine rice |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup) |
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup) |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 cup grape tomatoes |
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk |
1 teaspoon red curry paste (such as thai kitchen) |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
12 fresh basil leaves, torn |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon water |
5 lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Set aside 2 1/2 cups hot cooked rice. Reserve remaining 1/2 cup rice for another use.
2. While rice cooks, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 8 minutes or until done. Remove chicken from pan; set chicken aside.
3. Add onion and next 6 ingredients to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
4. Combine coconut milk and curry paste, stirring with a whisk until smooth; add to vegetable mixture. Add chicken, lime juice, basil, and chopped cilantro. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
5. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; add to chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Serve over hot cooked jasmine rice. Squeeze a lime wedge over each serving.
