    A pot of Thai Green curry chicken, a pot of rice and peas, skillet flatbread and two bowls filled with the curry, rice and garnishes.

    This deliciously fragrant Easy Thai Green Curry Chicken packs a flavour punch using store bought curry paste, light coconut milk, tender chicken thighs and whatever veggies you have on hand. Serve with rice and flatbread for a quick, easy, soul-satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.

    Change it up with shrimp instead of chicken or keep it light and load it up with just vegetables.

    Did you know that you can make delicious flatbread at home, in a nonstick skillet? It just takes a few common kitchen ingredients, a bit of time (for the dough to rise) and before you know it, you’ll have a piping hot pile of flatbreads. My recipe for skillet flatbread is linked here.

    This easy Thai Green Curry Chicken recipe was created in collaboration with Hestan Culinary. Proud Hestan Culinary Ambassador. Opinions in this post are my own.
