Ingredients

  • ½ 14 oz can of coconut milk, well shaken
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoon yellow curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into even sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 red or yellow pepper, sliced thin
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Add first 6 ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk well.  It's okay if the coconut oil is a bit lumpy.  Set aside.  
  • Heat 1 ½ tablespoon sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken pieces and cook 3 minutes per side.  Remove chicken from pan and cover with foil.
  • Add remaining 1 ½ tablespoon oil to the pan.  Add beans and peppers and saute for 4-5 minutes.  
  • Add chicken back to pan.  Whisk the sauce again then add to the pan.  Cook until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through about 4 minutes.  Sprinkle with fresh basil and chopped scallions.  
  • Serve with rice or cauliflower rice.
