15-Minute Chicken & Vegetable Thai Curry – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Leftover or Rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store can be transformed into an amazing meal. The chicken is already cooked, which saves time and if using leftovers, it definitely saves money.  The ease of using shredded chicken along with some pantry items to create dinner is a wonderful idea and this Thai recipe can be made in 15 minutes or less.

Green Thai Curry Paste can be found at most grocery stores as well as coconut milk, a popular milk substitute.  The broth in this curry has the most wonderful umami flavor and it has a much different taste than Indian curry – it’s lighter with a bit of mild heat.  I find that this meal is super satisfying, especially during the winter months of the year when you need that little something extra.

Vegetables like red bell pepper, onions, spinach and ginger enhance the flavors of this fragrant dish and it is delightful served over brown rice. This is the perfect dinner during the week when time is short and you need something quick to fill those hungry tummies.
