Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet over low heat, gently melt the butter. Add the yellow curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

02

Step

Stir in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

03

Step

In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and diced garlic and sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Add the cubed chicken breast and chicken soup base to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.

05

Step

Transfer the chicken mixture to the skillet with the coconut-curry sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

06

Step

While the curry simmers, prepare the jasmine rice. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed and drained rice with water. Cover and bring to a boil.

07

Step

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10-15 minutes.

08

Step

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the chicken curry over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice. Garnish with lightly salted cashews just before serving.

For a richer flavor, try using full-fat coconut milk.
Adjust the amount of yellow curry paste to your liking, depending on your spice preference.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, bamboo shoots, or peas.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil for an extra burst of flavor.
