Green Curry Chicken (Low-Calorie)
Chicken breast simmered in a lightened Thai green curry of coconut milk, green curry paste, bamboo shoots and Thai basil, finished with fish sauce and lime. Fewer coconut milk and less oil than a standard version keep this bright, herbaceous curry under 400 calories while retaining its grassy chili heat, served over cauliflower rice.

Instructions
1
Prep
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, slice the bell pepper and bamboo shoots, and pick the Thai basil leaves so everything is ready.
2
Sauté
Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir in the green curry paste for 1 minute until it darkens and smells toasty.
3
Simmer
Pour in coconut milk and chicken stock, whisking to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until the surface ripples.
4
Poach
Add the chicken, bamboo shoots, bell pepper, and sliced chili to the saucepan; simmer over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is opaque throughout and firm to the touch.
5
Finish
Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and half the basil leaves, and simmer over low heat for 1 minute until the basil wilts and sauce lightly coats the spoon.
6
Steam
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower rice in a covered pan over medium heat with a splash of water for 4 minutes until just tender.
7
Plate
Spoon the cauliflower rice into a shallow bowl, ladle the curry and chicken over the top, squeeze over the lime juice and scatter the remaining basil leaves.
