1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 t. ground ginger or 1 T. fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 t. ground coriander
1-14-ounce can coconut milk
1 to 1 1/2 C. carrots, shredded
2 zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces
2 to 8 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, or to taste 
1 t. kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 to 2 T. lime juice
1/4 to 1/3 C. fresh cilantro or to taste, finely chopped for garnishing
1 to 2 T. granulated sugar, optional and to taste

Directions:

  1. Using a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
