Thai Green Curry Chicken – a green curry chicken with lots of Thai flavor. You can make it in minutes any night of the week! And with ingredients you can find at your local grocery store.
We love Thai food at our house. We love Indian food too. If it has curry in the name, there is a good chance we will like it. This Indian Chicken Curry Recipe is one of our favorites. But sometimes you want to mix up the flavors a bit, and that is where this green curry chicken comes in.
I am all over a dinner you can get on the table in just minutes, but totally mix up the flavors! This uses ingredients you can have in your fridge and pantry and just pull out and make for even those busy weeknights.
Thai green chicken curry uses a Thai green curry paste. It comes in a little jar that you can find in the Asian isle at the grocery store. I found it at Walmart and Target as well as my normal local grocery stores. So hopefully you won’t have a problem finding it. You just mix it with some coconut milk and it makes one delicious sauce!
Thai green curry is one of my favorites when I go out for Thai food, and who knew it was so easy to make at home. Seriously, you are going to love this. It is so full of flavor, not spicy at all, and just comforting. And I love that it uses pretty easy to find ingredients, so I don’t have to make special trips to the store.
This Thai green curry recipe could not be simpler. Trust me, you can make these even on those crazy busy nights! The coconut milk makes the chicken super tender, and the sauce is just a handful of ingredients. Serve over rice or even cauliflower rice for one tasty dinner. Just toss on fresh cilantro at the end to make it bright and fresh. Your family is going to love it.
Do you have a favorite Thai dish? Often times I am a Pad Thai girl when we go out, but sometimes you just want to mix it up. And I always lean towards a curry. I don’t know about you, but I love making restaurant favorites at home. Things like Panera Mac and Cheese are so good at home, and then you don’t have to deal with crowds, driving, the time, and everything else that you deal with by going out.
So if you are looking to mix up your chicken dinner, try this Thai green curry recipe. You area going to love how quickly it comes together. And your family is going to love that is isn’t just another baked chicken recipe.

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!
amy @ fearless homemaker says
this sounds wonderful! i usually get noodle dishes when i go out for thai, too, but i do love a good curry. yum!
Anna @ hiddenponies says
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 🙂
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
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.
Peggy says
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 =)
Anna says
Mmm, sounds great! I love all coconut-milk dishes. Can’t wait to try this one!
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says
I’m a huge curry fan so this dish is just screaming my name!
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
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. 🙂
Erin says
I got mine at Target, pretty easy stuff to find compared to some Asian ingredients!
Amanda says
looks so yummy!
Suzanne says
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.
Eva Taylor says
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.
Steve @ the black peppercorn says
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!!!
Kate | Food Babbles says
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.
Ramona says
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
Carolyn says
I love both red and green thai curry paste. Really spices up a dish!
Lemons and Anchovies says
This looks great, Erin. I haven’t made a Thai dish in a long time. Time to borrow your recipe and make this. 🙂
Topper says
What size can of coconut milk? 🙂
Erin says
I believe it is a 15 oz can. My store only has one size, so I didn’t really pay attention.
Ally says
I am on a serious Thai kick. This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time!!

Lisa {AuthenticSuburbanGourmet} says
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!!!
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
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!
Jennifer (Delicieux) says
Delicious!! I love a good Thai green curry but haven’t made one in so long. I need to change that 😀
Joanne @ Fifteen Spatulas says
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.
Alyssa says
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!
Amy says
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!!!!!!!
Erin says
Thanks Amy, I am so glad you liked it!!
Kat says
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?
Erin says
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.
