Ingredients
  • sea salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or other heat tolerant cooking oil
  • 1 large shallot, peeled and minced
  • 2- inch segment fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 - 2 green chilies, seeded and minced, plus several slices for garnish
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled, and minced
  • 2 cups sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 2 cups Progresso Vegetable Cooking Stock
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 8- inch stalk lemongrass, halved
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, cut into a chiffonade, plus more for garnish
  • 1 package rice noodles or grain of choice
  • cilantro leaves for garnish
  • lime juice
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with sea salt. Set a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, and when hot, add chicken. Sauté, nudging slightly to prevent sticking, for 7 minutes. Flip, and sauté another 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Set cooked chicken in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons accumulated fat and edge heat down to medium. Add shallots, ginger, chilies, garlic, and a generous pinch of sea salt, and sauté until soft, 5 - 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and a splash of stock. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits; then add remaining stock, lime zest and lemongrass stalk. Bring mixture to a boil, and then turn heat down to a gentle simmer. Taste, and adjust salt levels as needed. Cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook rice noodles according to package instructions.
  4. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices and add to curry. When 5 minutes of cook time remain, stir in coconut milk and basil.
  5. Ladle over rice noodles and garnish with a squeeze of lime juice, green chili slices, and basil and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
