The easiest, most flavorful green Thai curry recipe that you can make with 3 simple ingredients and Yai's Thai Green Curry Sauce.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ⅓ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 small eggplant about 2 cups raw
- 6 ounces snow peas
- 1 jar Yai's Thai Green Coconut Curry
- rice for serving (optional)
- Thai basil or basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- Heat a large pot (or skillet) over medium high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then carefully place the chicken into the pot. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes, flip to cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side, then remove the chicken from the pot to a cutting board to rest.

Saute the eggplant for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the snow peas and stir to combine.
- Cube the chicken into the 1” or bite-size pieces, then add them back to the pot.
- Pour in the green Thai curry sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until heated through.
- Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and some basil leaves, serve over white rice, and enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Variations and Modifications
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can truly make it to fit your preference! It’s also the perfect meal to make when you’re trying to use up any produce that’s left in your fridge. The green Thai curry truly pairs well with just about everything. Here are some ideas:- Sub the protein - we opted for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the tender nature of the meat and the flavor, but chicken breasts or tenders would also work well. If you want to use something other than chicken, beef sirloin cubes, shrimp, or a white fish (like cod, tilapia, or halibut) would also work well. Use tofu if you are looking for a vegetarian/vegan option.
- Use a different veggie - red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, green beans, or mushrooms would make for great veggie subs.
