Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high. Add 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-size pieces) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 can coconut milk and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.

  4. Step 4

    Divide noodles among bowls. Ladle the curry broth and chicken over. Top with 0.5 cup chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime from 1 lime. Serve with crispy fried noodles if desired.
