Green Thai Curry with Chicken

I am sure that I will have so many dishes that I will want to develop recipes for when we return but for now, I hope you enjoy this Green Thai Curry. I could have added more Green Thai Curry paste but wanted to start on the mild side. Feel free to add another teaspoon or so if you like your curries spicier. I think I’m going to sliver a couple of red Thai curries next time I make this as well to add a bit more heat.

If you own a wok, you will find this so easy to make & clean up after but a non stick skillet will work just fine too.

I’ve included some photos of Thailand to wet your appetite for this amazing country. Perhaps we will see you there!
