The perfect recipe to follow a busy day of work, school or running around. It requires little time to prepare and yet it shows up as incredible! We love serving this for company of every age, as even the pickiest eaters can usually find a combo or de-constructed version they like. Perfect for families.

The green Thai curry paired with a coconut rice is an absolutely amazing combo. You can also use just plain rice or even noodles if you’d prefer. Toppings? We love banana, pistachio’s, and cilantro. However be creative! Don’t be afraid to try something different. Although seriously, the banana’s make it. Lol, the kids will also agree.

Getting this chicken in the oven will honestly take you about 5-10 min. How fast can you add ingredients to a saucepan and stir?! It’s so easy. Once your ingredients for the sauce are combined in a suacepan, simply bring to a boil and you’re ready for the next step. If you like a spicy curry, add more curry paste. If you’re feeding this to the “littles” maybe air on the side of caution and don’t add much. At any rate, we know from testing with numerous children that this recipe should be a win! Ha, a win for all ages.

Your sauce is prepared, chicken breasts in the pan, simply pour it over and get the pan in the oven!
