Green Curry Chicken and Rice Bowls

Well folks…Green Curry Chicken Rice Bowls has quite a cute story behind it.
Creating this dish was a fun and extra special challenge for me.
A sweet woman contacted me asking me if I knew of a green chicken dish.
She said her grandson ordered it on a cruise, and all he could remember was it was green chicken, had Asian flavors, and was served over rice.
I emailed her as soon as we made this delicious dish, just to say how amazing this recipe turned out 🙂
Even if I didn’t come close to what her grandson enjoyed, this is still a rock star dish that I’m sure he would still love!
This does have a good amount of ingredients, but I use these same ingredients in many dishes.
I actually had everything for the sauce already except for the green curry paste.
How to make Green Curry Chicken and Rice Bowls
The marinade is a mixture of soy sauce, lime juice, green curry paste, honey, garlic, and ginger.
Dice up some chicken and throw it in a gallon size plastic bag with the marinade and massage the bag until evenly mixed.
Then marinate in the fridge a few hours or over night.
When making the sauce for this dish you’ll need a food processor or blender.
Add in the same ingredients you used when making the marinade plus cilantro, a can of coconut milk, peanut butter, Sriracha, and cornstarch.
Blend it up until smooth and set aside.
Set a large skillet over medium heat and add some vegetable oil and the chicken.
Cook the chicken 6 to 7 minutes and remove from the skillet and set aside.
Next add more vegetable oil and some veggies.
I used onion, asparagus, sugar snap peas, and an orange bell pepper.
Mushrooms would have been a nice addition I think, and feel free to swap out other veggies if you don’t like these.
Cook the veggies 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then add the chicken back to this party along with the sauce from the food processor.
Let this cook another 5 minutes and it will bubble and combine into one dish.
The cornstarch from the sauce will help it to thicken slightly as it cooks.
Serve over rice with some chopped peanuts and more cilantro over top.
We are spice fanatics around here so we added more Sriracha as well.
A little extra squeeze of lime was also a nice touch of freshness.
Green Curry Chicken and Rice Bowls were even amazing as leftovers the next day!
