Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes

1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and cut into strips

2 Cups Fresh Green Beans

Zest of 1 Lemon

2 Cups Diced Mango

Heat a large skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and then the chicken. Cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to lose its pink color. Add the red pepper, green beans and curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, lemon zest and mango and cook for 1 minute. Serve over rice, quinoa or alone as a stew topped with roasted peanuts and cilantro.
