Cooking Steps
a) Boil a full kettle.
b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
c) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
a) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.
c) Once hot, add the green Thai style paste and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, 30 secs.
d) Stir in the coconut milk, chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).
a) Stir in the chicken and bring to the boil, then lower the heat.
b) Simmer until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then thinly slice (see ingredients for amount).
b) Zest and halve the lime.
c) Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.
a) Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the curry a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
b) Squeeze in some lime juice. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
c) Taste and season with salt, pepper and more lime juice if needed, then remove from the heat.
a) When everything's ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the lime zest.
b) Share the zesty rice between your bowls and spoon over the chicken curry.
c) Sprinkle over the chilli (use less if you'd prefer things milder) and spring onion to finish.
d) Cut any remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The curry is widely enjoyed for its bold, aromatic flavours and satisfying kick of spice, though some find it milder or less complex than expected. Adding a little extra green curry paste can help deepen the flavour if you prefer a more intense result.
- Ease of prep: Most find this a genuinely quick and straightforward weeknight cook, with the pre-diced chicken saving useful prep time.
- Suggestions: Go easy on the salt, as the chicken stock paste already adds a good level of seasoning. Some reviewers also suggest browning the chicken before adding it to the sauce for better texture, and adding a splash more coconut milk if the sauce reduces too much during simmering.
- Next-day meals: Portions divide opinion — some find the curry generous, while others feel the chicken quantity runs short, particularly for larger households. Adding extra vegetables is an easy way to bulk it out.
- Spice level: The heat level varies noticeably depending on how much spice mix is used, so start with half and adjust to taste, especially if cooking for children or those sensitive to spice.
