Think a restaurant-worthy curry is out of your homemade dinner grasp? Think again. Here, chicken breast and bell pepper strips are seared until browned, then simmered in a creamy, dreamy coconut milk curry with Thai chili sauce and lime juice. Once the curry is thickened, and the veggies are tender, spoon everything over fluffy cilantro-lime rice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and chili flakes. All that in just 30 minutes—talk about game-changing dinner!

Instructions

Cook Rice
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

In a small pot (medium pot for 4 servings), combine brown rice, 1¾ cups water (3½ cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook 20-25 minutes. (Save jasmine rice for another use.)

Prep
2

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lime. Mince cilantro. Thinly slice chili. • Place chicken* on a plate; pat dry with paper towels.

Cook Bell Pepper
3

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat (use a large pan for 4 servings). Add bell pepper and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.

Cook Chicken
4

• Add chicken, another large drizzle of oil, and a big pinch of salt to pan with bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned, 3-4 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). • Stir in half the curry powder (all for 4 servings); cook for 1 minute.

Simmer Sauce
5

• Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening. • Stir 2⁄3 cup coconut milk (1 1⁄3 cups for 4 servings), chili sauce, stock concentrate, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4) into pan with chicken mixture. (Save remaining coconut milk for another use.) Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until sauce is thickened, bell pepper is tender, and chicken is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if desired. Turn off heat.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: For an extra-rich experience, stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with coconut curry chicken, remaining cilantro, and a pinch of chili if desired. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
