Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp yellow curry paste
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 whole bread stick
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Add 2 tbsp yellow curry paste and stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup coconut milk and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the chicken in the sauce until cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. The chicken should feel firm and reach 165°F.

  4. 4

    Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over, sprinkle with 1 tsp black sesame seeds, and place 2 bread sticks on the side for dipping.

  5. 5

    Garnish with microgreens if desired.
