If you're looking for a basic green Thai chicken curry recipe, start here. Green is the hottest type of curry paste; to take this chicken recipe down a notch, try red Thai curry paste (considered “medium” heat) or mild yellow curry paste. If you have a shellfish allergy, compare curry paste ingredient lists--some brands contain shrimp and some don't.

I usually don't rate things like this... but I made an account to do so for this one. This one is fantastic. I didn't really know what I was doing with this recipe but kept going. Pretty awesome. I added mushrooms as per JA1988's suggestion and used kale for the veggies and a normal potato for the sweet potato and chicken breast instead of thighs. It was still fantastic. I served with rice (can you serve curry without rice?) and it's almost too spicy for my tastes (I'm a lightweight with a deathwish though). Love this recipe and I'll be making it again. Super easy tasty and keeps you warm on a cold night. Lovely. Read More

Yes! I was hesitant about the sweet potatoes but they added a rich nutty flavor. The only thing I did differently was to cut the beans smaller (minor). Pros: Easy & delicious Read More

Needs more spices to it I prefer a kick to my curry and this was very sweet to me. I loved the sweet potato and the flavors of this recipe but just wanted more spice. Next time I will add some peppers or something. If you are new to curry and don't like spicy food then this would be a good start. I did enjoy having leftovers for the next day/. Read More

First time I've cooked Thai myself. I used yellow curry paste and regular coconut milk. Love it. Will definitely make again. My 6-year-old granddaughter loved it too! Read More

Authentic Thai flavor This is lovely but needs rice to sop up the sauce. We made some but should have been included in recipe. Pros: Tasty authentic flavor Cons: A bit soupy Read More

Wow! Restaurant Quality! Up your game! I replaced the bok choy with brocollini and cauliflower. I definitely used generous tablespoons of green curry paste and I also cooked sprouted lentil on the side and added in when the chicken was returned to pot. Really great recipe! I never write reviews but had to comment. Try it and enjoy! Pros: Easy versatile. Read More
