20 minute Creamy Coconut Chicken Krapow
Guys! Honestly I started this recipe and didn’t even realize how INSANELY delicious it was going to be. This quick 20 minute Creamy Coconut Chicken Krapow is heavenly.
I was in one of my moods. I wanted to make something quick but needed it to be Thai, I was craving Krapow BUT I also wanted a curry so I just kind of went with it aaaand… I ended up with a creamy version of it. I’m not lying - I made enough for leftovers and the next day there was none left - Kass confessed he’d over eaten because it was that good and Keanu munched right through it too.
I love adding lots of veggies to my curries - the more colourful the better so you get your daily dose of #fiber#antioxidants & plenty of goodness. For this one I used mixed red & orange peppers with mushrooms. I just check what needs to be used up when I’m making a curry to #reducekitchenwaste. You can make it spicy or have sriracha on the side - grab the recipe below:

1. Melt the oil over a medium high heat, add shallots & vegetables. Sauté for 3 - 5 minutes until soft, add soy. Set aside.
2. In the same wok, add oil, garlic, galangal, lemongrass & sauté for 2 minutes. Increase heat to high, add chicken, breaking it up with the wooden spoon into bits until chicken starts to brown and is minced nicely - this should take 5 - 7 minutes. Add remaining ingredients including vegetables & bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium heat & simmer for 5 minutes. Throw over some fresh basil & enjoy!
