My Thai Green Curry and Lime Chicken recipe is seriously simple to throw together, and let me tell you, it packs a huge amount of flavor!
I made this recipe with chicken drumsticks, which would be perfect served alongside some cauliflower or white rice, but it would also be delicious if made with chicken thighs or even wings. Trust me, you need this in your life!

Do you cover the chicken with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of cooking?

I did not.
What is ghee? Is it like butter
Author
It’s clarified butter- no milk proteins. You can see how to make it in a how-to here on my site- or google it 🙂 Lots of recipes, how-tos, and videos out there!
Does ghee come in sticks or is it always in a jar? When it comes to scraping it out of a jar, the struggle is real. 😉
Author
Always a jar – just warm it and pour it out!!
Is it possible to get fish sauce that does not contain sugar? Would it be okay to leave the fish sauce out?
Author
I’m not sure what you mean because the fish sauce I use has no sugar!! I use Red Boat brand, it’s linked from my Favorites page 🙂 You can leave it out but it really adds the Thai flavor to the dish.
This is amazing!!! Can you give me some side dish ideas.
Can you grill these?
Author
Sure, why not? You may get some flames from the marinade but cook them however you like 🙂
looking amazing! I really love it.
Wow amazing food recipes, really nutritious. I will try today! thanks..
I just bought your book Keto Quickstart. Read it, thumbed through the wonderful recipes and have a question. I want to do the 1250 calorie tracker but I am at a loss about how to incorporate your recipes into the tracker. for example, this recipe is for 4 serving but there is no breakdown of calories, proteins, carbs, and fiber. Also, the recipes in the book, although it does have the breakdown for the meal, is it listed as the calories per serving or for the whole meal?
Author
The breakdowns on the recipes are per serving.
Can you use chicken breast instead and how will that affect cooking time?
Author
I would not use chicken breast as it’ll get dry very quickly!
Good morning, ❤️❤️
I’m wondering if I can throw this all in the instant pot and cook it that way in the marinade
Author
The texture won’t be the same but you can try it!
