  • Warm coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add curry paste and stir to combine. Add chicken and cook for about 8 minutes. Add frozen peas; cook and stir until peas are heated through, and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve with rice and garnish with basil and cilantro.
