Coconut Lime Chicken Curry! With spring getting closer and closer, I’m loving the idea of brighter dishes. That said, it’s still pretty cold and snowy here. I know a lot of you East Coaster’s are currently covered in the fluffy white stuff too! So cozy food is nevertheless a must. Fortunately, this recipe does double duty by combining both fresh and cozy!

The curry base is a simple mix of lemongrass, chile peppers, ginger, and Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk BlendI love using coconut almondmilk in my curry dishes. It adds the perfect amount of creaminess and”coconutty” flavor. Plus I usually have some on hand for both drinking and cooking, as it’s my favorite blend of non-dairy milk!

The curry comes together pretty quickly and just needs a little bit of simmer time on the stove. I chose to top each bowl with fresh cucumber, coconut, carrots, sprouts, some basil (use Thai basil if you can find it) and limes. I recently started buying fresh-cut coconut from Whole Foods and I’ve since become addicted. They sell it in the refrigerated section and I’ve been adding it to everything from smoothies to salads and even snacking on it raw, it is so good. Oh, and you cannot forget the noodles! You could also use rice, but I prefer noodles with this curry.

What I love about curry is that you can really throw in whatever you have on hand. I used broccoli, but veggies like bok choy, asparagus, and carrots would be delicious, and in the summer you could use fresh cherry tomatoes and zucchini! You can really have fun and be creative with this recipe, using what you love most or have on hand. Yes, please!

Oh, and another idea for a topping…fresh mango! You guys all know what a freak I am for adding mango to everything I can, but I really think it would be awesome on the this curry!

So what do you guys think…dinner tonight? A nice healthy, but still cozy, Thursday night meal before the weekend eats begin? Thinking it’s the right choice. 🙂

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red or green curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil

  • 2-3 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend

Instructions

  1. 1. In a blender or food processor, combine the onion, lemongrass, fresno pepper, ginger, garlic, and curry paste and pulse until a paste forms.
