Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

  • 1/2 tablespoon (about 1 clove) garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup scallions, rinsed and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste

  • 1/2 cup babassu coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon lite soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

Directions

  • Thaw the frozen vegetables in the microwave, then set aside.

  • In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, scallions, and lemongrass, and cook about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables become tender but not brown. Add the curry paste, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, honey, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil.

  • Mix the cornstarch and chicken broth in a small bowl. Pour the broth mixture into the saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
