Green Curry - Part Two

Green Chicken Curry.

After making the curry paste - I marinated about a pound of chicken breast strips in a couple Tablespoons of the paste.

Then I sauted one yellow onion with a bit of garlic and oil until the onion was clear. I added 3 Tablespoons of the curry paste and cooked that for about 2 minutes. Then I added the chicken and cooked that until it was about 80% cooked. Then I added 1 can of Coconut Milk and 3/4 cup of chicken broth and cooked the whole thing for about 10 more minutes. Finally I added some fresh Spinach and frozen peas. And served it on top of steamed rice.

The coconut milk I'd never used before and when I opened the can it was solid - which I hadn't expected. I chunked it out and found liquid at the bottom. (yes - I made a phone call to Mary to see if this was normal.)

This was actually a really delicious meal! Again, I would have added just a little more kick to the curry paste and If I did it again I'd make some broccoli or some other veggie to go with it.
