#ad #MinuteRicePartner 2 cups Minute Instant Brown Rice Olive oil 2 large chicken breasts 1 tbsp chili oil 1 medium onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 carrot sticks, sliced 8 oz mushrooms, sliced Salt and pepper, to taste 4 Thai chilies, sliced (adjust to heat preference) 6-8 garlic cloves, minced 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced 1 tsp ground turmeric 2 tbsp red curry paste, to taste 3-4 stalks lemongrass (remove the outer layers) smashed and cut into pieces 6 cups chicken broth 2 cans (14 oz each) coconut milk 1-2 tbsp fish sauce (optional, for added depth) 1 tsp brown sugar Juice of 1 lime (or more to taste) Fresh Thai basil Chili oil, cilantro, Thai basil for garnish, lime juice for garnish 1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and turmeric. 2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. The chicken will finish cooking in the soup, so no need to cook it all the way through at this stage. Remove the chicken and set it aside. 3. In the same pot, add another tbsp of olive oil and 1-2 tsp chili oil (optional) and heat over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables soften and start to brown slightly. 4. Season with salt and pepper, and add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, Thai red chilies, red curry paste, and lemongrass. Stir for 2-3 minutes to bloom the spices and release their fragrance. 5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the seared chicken into the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the soup. Simmer for another 20-30 minutes. 6. Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. 7. While the soup is simmering, prepare the Minute Instant Brown Rice according to package instructions. 8. Once the rice is finished, finish the soup with Thai basil and the juice from one lime. Remove the lemongrass stalks, and adjust seasonings if needed. 9. Ladle the soup over the brown rice. Garnish with chili oil, fresh cilantro, Thai basil leaves, and lime juice. Enjoy!
