This chicken recipe is full of creaminess and flavor thanks to the coconut milk and curry paste, and it also features a colorful vegetable medley of bell peppers, scallions, cauliflower, and carrots. Feel free to throw in broccoli, celery, and onions too if you'd like. It all comes together in one large skillet and takes about half an hour to make. Top it off with some fresh basil and lime juice, and you'll love the combination of tastes and textures from this easy, weeknight-friendly recipe. You can also serve this saucy dish with rice noodles or steamed rice for an even more substantial meal.
