Bright and fragrant, this Thai Green Curry Chicken and Asparagus stir-fry recipe is easy to make and comes together in less than 20 minutes. The ultimate fast dinner recipe! 

The secret to this fast and easy stir-fry recipe is the green curry sauce made with coconut milk, lime juice, ginger, fish sauce, and Thai green curry paste. By always keeping a well-stocked Asian pantry, this fast dinner recipe is always within reach.

Asparagus is in season right now and I always have chicken on hand but feel free to use shrimp, pork or tofu with any veggies you have on hand.

Your chop sticks are waiting.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 ounces chicken breasts, boneless skinless cut in cubes
  • 12 spears asparagus cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk light
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste optional
  • 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
  • brown rice to serve optional
  • cilantro, scallions optional garnish

Instructions
 

  1. Pre-heat a large wok or skillet over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and add to pan. Saute until brown, about 7-9 minutes; remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  2. In the same hot skillet, add the asparagus and saute until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together all remaining ingredients (coconut milk through curry paste) in a small bowl. 
  4. Add the chicken back to the hot pan and pour in the sauce. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer curry for 7-9 minutes before serving over rice. Garnish with cilantro and scallions if you wish.
