Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 4 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pot and cook until golden, about 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. Add garlic, red bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3–4 minutes.

3. Stir in red curry paste and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

5. Return chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

6. Add rice noodles, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Cook until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes.

7. Remove from heat. Stir in green onions, cilantro, basil, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For extra spice, add sliced Thai chiles or a dash of chili oil. Swap rice noodles for soba or ramen if preferred. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but noodles may soften more upon reheating.
