Description

Spicy Thai green curry bowls sweetened with coconut milk and cooked quickly in your instant pot. Spice up your weeknight routine with this fast, simple dish featuring marinated chicken thighs, sliced bell peppers and jasmine rice. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5–2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized cubes
  • 1–4 ounce jar of Thai green curry paste
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 5 cloves of garlic, sliced 
  • 2 long, skinny green or red chile peppers (I used serranos), seeds removed and thinly sliced into tiny rounds
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil (grapeseed, vegetable or canola oil will work as well)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, small diced
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk 
  • 1/2 cup water 
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha 
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed and drained

Garnish

  • Thai basil (regular is fine if you can’t find thai basil)
  • Sriracha for extra heat if desired!

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the chicken, curry paste, lime juice, garlic, and chile peppers, and allow to marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish.

  6. Add the jasmine rice on top (DO NOT STIR). Spread it with the back of a large spoon in an even layer. You can press it down gently into the liquid but you want it to remain at the top.

  8. When finished, allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then release the steam manually, remove the lid and, stir everything up. 
  9. Allow to rest and cool with the lid off for 5 to 10 minutes. 
  10. Garnish with chopped Thai basil and sriracha if desired (check the heat level first) and enjoy!

Notes

If you are nervous about the heat level, use one chile instead of two and add your sriracha at the end to taste!
