Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-size pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add curry paste, stir until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until lightly golden on one side.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir to break up curry paste. Bring to a simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Add bell pepper slices. Simmer 5–6 minutes until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender-crisp.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in fresh basil. Squeeze lime juice over the top. Serve hot with jasmine rice.
