Instructions

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.

In the same hot skillet, add the asparagus and saute until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.

While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together all remaining ingredients (coconut milk through curry paste) in a small bowl.
1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon chili paste, 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
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.
