Easy Thai Green Curry Recipe

This green chicken curry is ready faster than you can call for takeout and tastes just as good – or better! – than you’d find in a Thai restaurant. It’s a spinoff of this Thai Chicken Coconut Red Curry, which has been in the top 5 most popular recipes on my entire website for the past few years! I am a huge fan of Thai curries and was craving something with Thai green curry paste, coconut milk, and veggies. This easy, one-skillet curry that’s ready in 20 minutes was absolutely perfect. There’s chicken along with sweet Vidalia onions, zucchini, and carrots. Everything simmers in creamy coconut milk that’s spiced with garlic, ginger, coriander, and Thai green curry paste before adding lime lime juice and cilantro. It’s hearty yet healthy comfort food that’s layered with Thai-inspired flavors and is naturally gluten-free.

How to Make Green Thai Curry

This recipe for Thai green chicken curry comes together quickly and easily, but tastes like it simmered for hours on the stovetop! It’s my favorite authentic Thai green curry recipes! I’ve had readers tell me it tastes like a dish they’d get in Thailand. Here’s how the Thai green curry is made:  We enjoy this Thai green chicken curry served over jasmine rice and were thrilled to be devouring and slurping down our curry at home and in the peace of our own kitchen. Basmati rice or naan would be my other serving suggestion. I also like to serve my green chicken curry with a lime wedge and fresh cilantro for added flavor.
