I have dinner all figured out for us tonight!
Coconut Lime Chicken Curry! With spring getting closer and closer, I’m loving the idea of brighter dishes. That said, it’s still pretty cold and snowy here. I know a lot of you East Coaster’s are currently covered in the fluffy white stuff too! So cozy food is nevertheless a must. Fortunately, this recipe does double duty by combining both fresh and cozy!
The curry base is a simple mix of lemongrass, chile peppers, ginger, and Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend. I love using coconut almondmilk in my curry dishes. It adds the perfect amount of creaminess and”coconutty” flavor. Plus I usually have some on hand for both drinking and cooking, as it’s my favorite blend of non-dairy milk!
The curry comes together pretty quickly and just needs a little bit of simmer time on the stove. I chose to top each bowl with fresh cucumber, coconut, carrots, sprouts, some basil (use Thai basil if you can find it) and limes. I recently started buying fresh-cut coconut from Whole Foods and I’ve since become addicted. They sell it in the refrigerated section and I’ve been adding it to everything from smoothies to salads and even snacking on it raw, it is so good. Oh, and you cannot forget the noodles! You could also use rice, but I prefer noodles with this curry.
What I love about curry is that you can really throw in whatever you have on hand. I used broccoli, but veggies like bok choy, asparagus, and carrots would be delicious, and in the summer you could use fresh cherry tomatoes and zucchini! You can really have fun and be creative with this recipe, using what you love most or have on hand. Yes, please!
Oh, and another idea for a topping…fresh mango! You guys all know what a freak I am for adding mango to everything I can, but I really think it would be awesome on the this curry!
So what do you guys think…dinner tonight? A nice healthy, but still cozy, Thursday night meal before the weekend eats begin? Thinking it’s the right choice. 🙂

Hello! Made the recipe but couldn’t find the peppers. It would be helpful to have alternatives listed in the ingredients. I went to an Asian market to find and they had so many peppers, just not the one you listed. I got creative and added a garlic chili paste and thought that was good.
As always, love your recipes.
Hi Leslie,
Happy Friday!? Thanks a bunch for testing this recipe out, I am so glad to hear it was enjoyed! Your local grocery store should carry Fresno peppers, if not any other spicy pepper that you enjoy will work:) xx
Excellent! Really spiced up our routine quarantine meals and made me enjoy a meal again!
Love to hear that! Thank you Alexis! xTieghan
Glorious! I had already used all the rice noodles making your shrimp spring roll bowls the day prior (not exactly a “winter in Scandinavia” recipe, I know…but man I couldn’t resist) so I served the curry dish over Basmati rice instead. It was delicious, and the mix of almond/coconut milk added a nice depth to it. Will absolutely make this again!
Thank you Aline! I am so glad you loved this recipe!
I made this last night, but with normal coconut milk, and I added some asparagus.
Was absolutely divine, thanks so much!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you Mari!
I love a lot of your dishes but this seemed odd to me. I see you made your own paste but it didn’t have any curry in it. Followed your recipe and felt like I was eating blah soup. Had to add some yellow curry paste. Is something missing?
Hi DyAnne! I am incredibly sorry, this was missing a key ingredients, the curry paste! SO SORRY, but thank you for bring this to my attention. Recipe is now fixed.
Thanks for responding, I’ll try it again!
Made this & it was incredible! I used hemp milk instead of almond milk & lemon juice instead of lemongrass and it turned out amazing!
Sounds amazing Cece!! SO happy you tried it!
I made this for dinner tonight and my family loved it! I swapped the broccoli for some asparagus and the crunchiness was great. Also, I took your advice and added mango…perfection! I threw it into the curry paste mix instead of using it as a topping but you were right…it really amped it up!
Sounds absolutely delicious!! So happy you liked it (:
How much/what kind of curry powder (or paste?) goes in?
Hi! I am sorry if something was confusing, but there is no curry paste or powder in this recipe as I made my own curry mix. Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love this!
