a) In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Add the diced chicken, pak choi and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.

Simmer Simmer
4

a) Stir the coconut milk, soy sauce and chickpeas into the sauce. 

b) Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

Finishing Touches
5

a) While your sauce simmers, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

b) When your rice is ready, fluff it up with a fork and stir through the lime zest. 

c) Stir the sweet chilli sauce and a squeeze of lime juice from a lime wedge into the curry. Taste and season with salt, pepper or more lime juice if needed. 

Serve Up

a) Share the zesty rice between your serving bowls. 

b) Top with the Thai style chicken curry. 

c) Sprinkle over the peanuts and serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
