Ingredients
    Protein
  • 1 lb chicken breast
    • For the Curry Sauce
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste (adjust for spice preference)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (adds umami flavor)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp lime juice (for brightness)
  • 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener (optional, balances flavors)
    • Veggies & Garnishes:
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
  • ½ cup zucchini, sliced
  • ¼ cup Thai basil (or regular basil)
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
    Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
    2. Step 2: Cook the Protein
  2. If using chicken, slice it into thin strips and add it to the pan, cooking until lightly browned (about 5 minutes). If using shrimp, add it in the next step.
    3. Step 3: Build the Curry Sauce
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and let it cook for 30 seconds to release its flavors. Then pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and monk fruit sweetener. Stir well.
    4. Step 4: Simmer & Add Veggies
  4. Add the bell peppers and zucchini, letting everything simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. If using shrimp, add it now and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink.
    5. Step 5: Final Touches
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle in Thai basil and red pepper flakes if you want extra spice.
    6. Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with cauliflower rice or keto noodles for a satisfying meal!
