30-Minute Thai Green Curry Chicken (Low FODMAP)

This quick Thai green curry chicken recipe uses an easy homemade paste to make it low FODMAP. The one pot dinner is packed with chicken breasts, bell peppers, cilantro and lime juice. Even with the from scratch spice blend, the gluten-free coconut curry comes together in under 30 minutes and there's so much flavor you hardly miss the garlic and onion.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
  • 1 pound chicken breasts about 2 medium, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
  • 1 jalapeno deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • One 14.5 ounce can unsweetened full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green beans cut into 1-inch pieces optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick skillet, melt the coconut oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the chicken in an even layer and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • To the pan, add the ginger, jalapeno, cumin, coriander, and turmeric and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the salt, coconut milk, lime juice, red peppers and green beans (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly and the broth is a vibrant greenish-yellow, 5 minutes.
  • Off the heat, stir in the chicken. Allow the dish to cool slightly. Then garnish with the cilantro and serve alongside brown rice, sliced cucumbers, and extra limes.

Notes

Since chicken breasts don’t have much fat and, therefore, dry out more easily, I prefer to cube my chicken on the larger side so that they don’t overcook. To make your curry look like what you’d get in a Thai restaurant, thinly slice the breasts and poach them in the coconut milk mixture until cooked through, rather than searing first. To cut down on prep time, simply toss the jalapeño and ginger in a small food processor and pulse.
