We have a slight disagreement in our house. My husband and I both really like Thai food and Indian food. I like Indian over Thai, he likes Thia over Indian. Considering I am the cook, that means we have Indian more than we have Thai. I tried to make Pad Thai once, and it just didn’t turn out. I have figured out what I did wrong, so I just need to try again. Not sure why I haven’t yet. So in an effort to be a good wife, I made a Thai Curry.
When we go out for Thai food, we don’t usually get curry. I always get Pad Thai, I mean always! My husband tries a couple different things, but they are usually noodle dishes of some sort. So although, this definitely had lots of Thai flavors, and we both loved it, I am not sure I am off the hook yet. Must. Make. More. Thai.
I will admit I was slightly nervous about the green curry. I am weird like that. If it is a strange color it makes me nervous. I am used to red curries, so this was a little different for me. It was perfectly spicy, and the coconut milk gave it great flavor. We will be making this many more times in the future!
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 Tbls soy sauce
- 1 Tbls flour
- 2 Tbls canola oil
- 2 Tbls green curry paste
- 3 green onions, chopped (only the green part)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 Tbls fish sauce
- 1 Tbls soy sauce
- 2 Tbls sugar
- cilantro, garnish
- In a bowl toss the chicken with 1 tbls soy sauce and the flour, coating evenly. In a large skillet heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken, and saute until browned (about 5 minutes). Remove chicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the curry paste. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add green onions, garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, and stir until the chicken is coated with the curry mixture. Mix the coconut milk, fish sauce, 1 tbls soy sauce, and sugar in with the chicken. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
- Serve over rice, garnish with cilantro

Ohh this looks delish! I never made Indian food at home, but I would like to try it. I’m more like your HUsband I like Thai food.
I have to try your recipe, it just sounds and looks wonderful!
this sounds wonderful! i usually get noodle dishes when i go out for thai, too, but i do love a good curry. yum!
This sounds amazing! I’ve never tried Indian food at home although we both like it…it’ll have to be tried for a date night after the kids are in bed and can’t complain I think
I love curry but I haven’t made it at home recently – thanks for the reminder, this looks great! I’ll probably add some broccoli or green beans to carry on with the green theme.
I don’t think I could break the tie between Thai and Indian! Both curries are so different, yet so alike in a lot of ways too. This green curry looks great – well done =)
Mmm, sounds great! I love all coconut-milk dishes. Can’t wait to try this one!
I’m a huge curry fan so this dish is just screaming my name!
Ooh, this looks really yummy and not scarily complicated (my reason for staying away from most Asian dishes)! I’d love to try this…just gotta get me some curry paste.
I got mine at Target, pretty easy stuff to find compared to some Asian ingredients!
looks so yummy!
love this recipe, simple and healthy too, wish I could get the rest of my family to enjoy the Asian flavors as much as I do.
My absolute all time favourite is the thai green curry. I make it all the time but mainly in the winter. I have made my own green curry paste, but I found it labour intensive, so I now buy the same brand you do. The heat is strong but it’s quite delicious.
Thai green curry chicken is possibly my favourite dish ever. I so love it! Especially with sliced Asian eggplant and Thai basil to go with the chicken. This looks awesome Erin!!!
I’m intrigued! I’m with you on a couple counts here… A) I’m a red curry person. I’ve never tried green curry before but this dish makes me want to. B) I ALWAYS order Pad Thai! Always! It’s my very favorite. As for my husband, he orders pizza next door to the thai place because he is the world’s most picky eater EVER.
Great post! New to your blog and I really like what I see so far. I’ll be back for sure.
I love Thai and Indian! I love any kind of curry… LOL! I also love pad thai
This looks great and I would have loved to have had this for dinner tonight. Have a wonderful weekend. ~ Ramona
I love both red and green thai curry paste. Really spices up a dish!
This looks great, Erin. I haven’t made a Thai dish in a long time. Time to borrow your recipe and make this.
What size can of coconut milk?
I believe it is a 15 oz can. My store only has one size, so I didn’t really pay attention.
I am on a serious Thai kick. This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time!!

I adore thai food and this is such a simple curry that is packed with wonderful flavors. Time for lunch and I just wish I could pluck this from the screen. Delish!!!
I can eat Thai food everyday, and Green curry is my husband’s first pick. It’s a bit spicy for me, so I have to stay with yellow curry…
Maybe I’ll practice eating at home so I can tolerate the spice better! Looks delish!
Delicious!! I love a good Thai green curry but haven’t made one in so long. I need to change that
I saw this the other day but didn’t get the chance to take a good look at the recipe. I have that curry paste in my fridge and never really know what to do with it. I’m going to try this!!! I love green curry but can never get it as good as those Thai places.
I have to say, I’,m 50/50 with Indian and Thai food, I like them both equally. This curry looks wonderful! I don’t know that I’ve ever had green curry, but by the look of the recipe, I would love it I think!
Hi there! This was so fantastic!!!!! We are loving Thai food at my house lately! I had the rest of my jar of green curry paste left over from a similar shrimp recipe and gave this one a try. When I go grocery shopping this week, you can bet the green curry paste will be on the list and in my cart!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks Amy, I am so glad you liked it!!
I tried the same curry paste.. But it doesn’t give the curry enough flavor at all! I even double the amount to put in the curry:( does yours taste like the one they surve at the restaurant?
I have never had it at a restaurant before
My husband did add more to his, so I would say keep playing with the amount.
