Chicken and Broccoli Thai Curry

Excellent Thai Curry! I used hearts of palm diced (couldn't find any bamboo) and red curry paste and the heat was just right for us - even the 2 year old liked it (I was surprised!). For those who think it's too thin - Thai curries are usually thinner than Indian curries, but if you like a thicker sauce you can mix 2-3 tbs of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cream or milk in a separate cup and then add it to the curry towards the end of the cooking. Cook and stir until thickened. Great flavors! I used light coconut milk this time, but I missed the richness and will use regular next time. I might also reduce the fish oil to 2 tbs next time to allow the sweetness to come through more. Thanks so much for an awesome recipe!

This certainly couldn't have been easier to make! I really appreciated the fact that the chicken was poached in the liquid and not cooked separately - very moist. Child-friendly as the curry paste didn't overpower the remaining ingredients. I even got to use that can of bamboo shoots I've had in the cupboard since...can't remember.LOL We reallyl liked this.

I love how quick this recipe was. Next time, I'll cut the fish sauce down to 2-2.5 T. Thanks!

Wonderful flavors in this recipe. I made half a recipe and it was perfect for the two of us. Served with Thai Coconut Rice.

I like the basic idea, but it really needs more curry (both the spices and the heat)! Will use significantly more next time around -- but there *will* be a next time around!

This was a very nice curry, I have to admit that I did put more than paste required, as my DH likes it so hot it's almost on fire, he he he but it was very very good, and so easy to make one pot to clean up, DH does the pots so he was very happy. This will be a regular on our table from now on. thanks for posting.

This was very tasty. I liked being able to cook everything together in my wok. I was out of fresh basil so I had to use dried, but will make again with fresh. Made for ZWT6.

I thought this was very good, instead of broccoli, I used 2-3 cups of green beans. And I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried which I don't think added much to this dish. When I sat down to eat, I remembered I had fresh cilantro so I chopped some up and it was great with the sauce. Thanks for sharing!

I've made this three times in three weeks so I thought I should write a review on it and say BRAVO!! It has become the second most requested recipe in my house (Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burrito Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos being the first). It is an easy recipe to alter and I've never made it the same way twice. Each time I've had to double the recipe. I always add more vegetables. The last time I made it I fixed it with broccoli, cauliflower, a red pepper and a yellow pepper. It was as beautiful as it was tasty. Oh, and I steam the vegetables and then add them at the end right before serving. I didn't like the way the vegetables turned out when I cooked them in the sauce. Great recipe, thanks!

We loved this, we have tried left over grilled chicken breasts and also shrimp, we have never added the shoots either. Simple and not a drop left which earned it 5 stars in my book!

This tastes amazing, authentic and it could not be easier to make. I had a little trouble believing all that chicken and broccoli could completely cook in 15 minutes, but they did!

Made this for the second time tonight. With a few changes for our personal tastes, this is an excellent recipe! I used twice as much green curry paste, twice as much fresh basil, not as much chicken and more broccoli. I also added a little bit of asian greens (tatsoi) and 8 kaffir lime leaves. The lime leaves really added a nice flavor! Thanks for the recipe!

* Reviewed for ZWT6 Whine and Cheese Gang * Delicious! Very easy and tasty. Quite mild for a Thai curry so child-friendly for my daughters. We used fresh basil leaves from our herb garden and regular coconut milk. Lovely tender poached chicken. Served over a bed of white steamed rice. Perfect. Photo also to be posted :)

I have been looking for a recipe like this for a very long time. I love this dish and have enjoyed it at my favorite restaurant for years. After trying several recipes I am thrilled to have found this one. It is perfect. The only thing I would do is double liquid and seasonings. The more broth the better. Thank you so much for this little gem!

Delicious! Would have substituted peppers and green beans instead of broccoli (like the picture). Broccoli was a bit soggy. Flavour was awesome! Will definately make again.

i'm not going to rate this because i deviated so much. i made it with tofu (baked using a zaar recipe as a base) - then used worcester + soy for the fish sauce (which i do not like at all). i didn't use the chicken broth (already wet enough) but did use the lime spritz at the very end. and i used fresh veggies of all kinds - including grated organic carrots and stuffing mushrooms cut large enough to retain some texture. all i can say is wow! this is just excellent - and proof that it is versatile. the taste was exceptional and as good (or better) than any thai restaurant i've visited. i would highly encourage people to play around with this and make this their own. thank you so much for publishing it!

This was a winner in my house. I followed the directions exactly and it was tasty. All the kids liked it. Personally I thought it was too bland but on the right track. Next time I'll double the curry paste and basil. We put scoops of steamed white rice in a bowl and then ladled the curry over it. yum!

Really tasty and super easy! I used shrimp instead of chicken and just threw it in the pot during the last five minutes of cooking. I'll definitely make this again and try some other meats/veggies.

Wonderful recipe with fantastic flavours. Didn't have broccoli, so successfully subbed chopped green beans and bok choy. Also added a generous squeeze of lime juice. As a previous reviewer said, there was too much sauce. In future, I'll cut back on or omit the chicken broth. Thanks for a great dish.
