Thai Style Chicken

Not rated yetRate it

Thai style chicken is a creamy aromatic dish based on chicken breast cooked in coconut milk with vegetables and curry paste. Combination of sweet coconut milk spicy curry and lime juice creates a balanced flavor typical for Thai cuisine. Quick cooking keeps chicken tender while sauce remains smooth and fragrant. Dish is best served hot with rice which absorbs the sauce well.
