1 large zucchini (diced into bite-sized pieces)

2 to 8 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (or to taste, I used the whole jar for this recipe, but prefer bolder flavors)

Instructies

To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.

Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is done; flip and stir often to ensure even cooking.

Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.

Add the coconut milk, carrots, zucchini, Thai curry paste, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly.

Add the lime juice, cilantro, and stir to combine. Taste and optionally add sugar, additional curry paste, salt, pepper, etc. to taste.
