How to Make Thai Curry Chicken With Sweet Potato
- Wash and pierce 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 pound) with a fork. Microwave on high for 2 minutes to soften.
- Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a microwave-safe steamer bag with 1 teaspoon of water. Microwave on high for 3 minutes until slightly tender.
- Set the sweet potato aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (or more, to taste) and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes; 1 medium onion, sliced; and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook and stir for 6-8 minutes, until chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
- Stir in 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, both sliced; and the cooked sweet potato.
- Cook for 4 minutes, or until peppers are crisp-tender and sweet potato is heated through.
- Add 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, coating the chicken and vegetables (about 2-3 minutes).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more curry paste for heat, brown sugar for sweetness, or fish sauce for saltiness).
- Serve hot over cooked rice.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts (optional).
