Easy Peasy Red Thai Curry

I've always been a huge fan of curry, but it's not always the healthiest of options. This is mainly due to the Coconut Milk you use - I ensure to use Half fat Coconut Cream to cut down on the unnecessary saturated fat! If, like my local supermarket, you can't purchase it, just order online through Amazon (here). It honestly tastes exactly the same and means you can enjoy a guilt-free curry. I also use brown rice instead of the refined white rice. Complex carbohydrates are your friends, get to know them and replace your white alternative!!2 x Chicken BreastHalf pack of Green Beans 1 x Onion1 x Garlic Clove150g Brown Rice1 x tbsp Red Thai Curry Paste1 x Half Fat Coconut Milk Can150ml Chicken Stock1 x Red Chilli (Optional)Half a Lime (Optional)Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry the sliced Onion, Garlic and Chicken breast until golden brown.Add the Curry Paste, Chilli, Chicken Stock and Coconut Milk and bring to the boil. Then simmer for 20-25mins until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced.Add the Green Beans and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve with rice and lime!Based on a Tesco recipe here with a few healthier twists and student cut backs - this recipe means anyone can enjoy the classic Red Thai Curry!
