Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless chicken breast
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Panang curry paste
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 Fresh kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sugar-free soy sauce
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 Lime
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts
• 2 cloves Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the red bell pepper and carrot into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the Panang curry paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine it with the curry paste.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and torn kaffir lime leaves to the skillet.

Step 8

Add the fish sauce and sugar-free soy sauce, stirring well. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the sauce, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Stir in fresh basil leaves just before serving, allowing them to wilt slightly.

Step 11

Garnish with crushed peanuts and serve hot, with a side of steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
