Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes; spoon chicken out onto a separate plate and set aside.
* Alternately if you have rotisserie chicken you can skip this step all together. Simple cube/ shred your rotisserie chicken and set aside (about 1 1/2 – 2 cups) -
Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and then add the garlic, bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in red curry paste and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute ( I used the frozen garlic and ginger cubes).
-
Stir in chicken broth and coconut milk, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Stir in chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced, about 10 minutes.
-
Stir in rice noodles (or other noodles–cook first if needed), fish sauce and brown sugar until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat; stir in green onions, cilantro, basil and lime juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
-
Serve immediately.
