Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the red curry paste, ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
- Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve the spicy chicken and vegetable skillet over cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy!
