Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut cream

- Add the cubed chicken to the skillet, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for approximately 12 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Fold in the yellow bell pepper and green beans, cooking for an extra 4-6 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender.
- Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice, mixing well to enhance the flavor profile. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Serve the delightful curry over a bed of steamed basmati rice, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
