Thai Green Curry with Potatoes and Zucchini

Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini
1 medium potato
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
2 to 3 TBSP green curry paste
2 large chicken breasts, cubed (can be replaced with 2 cups tofu or 2 additional potatoes)
1 1/2 cups chicken broth or water
2 TBSP low sodium soy sauce (or 1 TBSP regular soy sauce)
1 TBSP coconut sugar or brown sugar
a handful of fresh Asian or Italian basil leaves (optional)

Directions:
Slice zucchini in half lengthwise and cut into 1 inch pieces and set aside. Cut potato into 1 inch pieces. In medium saucepan, bring 1/2 can of coconut milk to boil over medium high heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the curry paste and cook 2 to 3 minutes until it is dissolved in the coconut milk. Add the chicken and potatoes and cook 2 minutes more, tossing to coat it with the sauce.

Add the remaining coconut milk, the chicken broth, zucchini, soy sauce, and palm sugar. Reduce heat to medium, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until chicken is cooked, and potatoes and zucchini are tender, but firm. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves.

Serve over brown rice.

Serves 4 to 6.
