Thai Green Chicken Curry
A Thai green chicken curry is always a welcome dish for my loved ones. There is something special about Thai food that draws us back time and again for more. In
addition to chicken breasts, This
curry has as well straw mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots as main
ingredients which gives it an interesting array of textures and flavors.To save time I used a commercially available green curry paste as a basis for the dish which did not influence the taste of the dish negatively at all. Those ready made pastes are these days available in many Asian supermarkets and most grocery chain stores as well.
