Using the shortcut of good-quality store-bought paste, this Chicken Green Curry recipe takes only 15 minutes to pull together. Tender chicken is cooked with the curry paste, along with coconut milk, brown sugar, fresh herbs and veggies to create a fragrant, coconutty green curry. Serve with simple steamed jasmine rice and lime wedges for squeezing.

Notes

MAKE AHEAD

Best cooked and eaten immediately. Cut the chicken and vegetables in advance and store them separately, refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 2 days to help speed up your meal preparation. 

LEFTOVERS

Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave until piping hot. Green curry can be frozen for up to 2 months; however, its texture may change and become a little grainy as it thaws. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the microwave until piping hot.
