Thai Chicken with Stir Fried Green Beans and Lime Leaves

This was a really quick and easy evening meal. I served it with rice as recommended and it was really delicious, just the right amount of spice for me. I did make a couple of changes, I used used yellow instead of red curry paste and I halved the amount of sugar used.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large chicken breast, sliced into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp yellow curry paste
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 handfuls green beans, chopped into 2in pieces
2 tbsp fish sauce
6 lime leaves, sliced thinly

 

Heat a large frying pan and add the tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and stir fry for a min or so, you want to see a bit of colour on all sides but not cooked through.
 

Add the curry paste, brown sugar and a few tablespoons of water. Stir until it bubbles. Add the green beans and stir fry for 3 minutes. 

Add the fish sauce and the lime leaves. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked and the beans are tender. If you find it is getting a bit dry, add a little more water. Serve with rice
