Keto Panang Curry
Thai Dish - Keto, Gluten Free, Paleo
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Large Pot or Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Oil I used olive oil, you could use coconut oil as well
- 3 tbsp Red Curry Paste
- 2 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 2 lbs Chicken Breast
- 1 Onion
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1.5 tsp Ground Ginger
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 2 14 oz Cans Coconut Milk (Full Fat, Thai)
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar Substitute
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 Lime - Zest
- 1 Lime - Juice
- 1 cup Loosely packed Basil Leaves Thai Basil preferred
- 3 tbsp Chili Sauce See Notes
- dash Cayenne Pepper See Notes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 bags Riced Cauliflower
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, heat your oil.
- Add diced onion and saute for about 2 minutes.
- Add your Bell Pepper, Garlic and ginger, saute for 2 minutes more.
- Add red curry paste and peanut butter and saute for 1 minute, followed by your coconut milk. Stir while bringing to a simmer.
- Slice your Chicken Breast (I slice thin at 45 degree angle). Add Chicken to the sauce and cook until no longer pink.
- Once chicken is cooked add your brown sugar substitute, fish sauce, basil and both zest and juice of a lime.
- Season, while tasting. Panang Curry generally has some heat involved but this is where you can be creative and make your panang curry as mild or as spicy as you like. Of course Salt and Pepper should be added, but spice can be added in the form of chili paste, cayenne pepper or even sriracha sauce. I personally use Chili paste because I always have it on hand, about 3 tbsps and a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Serve over Cauliflower Rice. You can buy cauliflower rice at any grocery store pre-riced and steam in the bag for a quick and easy finish!
Notes
If you have Panang Curry Paste, I would reduce the amount of Peanut butter used by 1 tablespoon and omit the lime zest. Also be sure to taste prior to adding any additional chili/spice as Panang Curry Paste has more heat than Red Curry Paste.
Pre-Riced Cauliflower works great to serve your Panang Curry over. You seriously won’t even miss the rice, as this takes on the flavors of the sauce. Microwave your cauliflower rice right in the bag!
Looking for a Thai Appetizer to go along with this? My recipe for Keto Chicken Satay is out of this world delicious and includes the peanut sauce in the recipe! Find the recipe here!
Is Coconut Milk Keto? Yes, Coconut Milk can be part of a Keto Diet. Coconut’s are high fat and low carb, thanks to compounds called MCTs (medium chain triglycerides). So Coconut milk is a great option for a keto way of eating and adds great flavor to many dishes! My favorite brand is here.
