Ingredients

Units Scale

Protein

  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Produce

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
  • Bell peppers, sliced, to taste
  • Carrots, sliced, to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime

Liquids & Sauces

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • Low-sodium soy sauce, to taste

Others

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Chop the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking, and mince the garlic and ginger finely to release their flavors.
  2. Sauté garlic and ginger: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn them.
  3. Cook chicken: Add the chopped chicken pieces to the pot. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Add liquids: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add vegetables and simmer: Add the sliced bell peppers and carrots. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
  6. Finish with lime and soy sauce: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the juice of one lime and low-sodium soy sauce to taste to brighten and season the soup before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust the soy sauce quantity for saltiness based on preference.
  • Adding sliced mushrooms or fresh herbs like cilantro can elevate the flavor.
  • This soup pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles for a fuller meal.
  • For a spicier version, add sliced fresh chili or a dash of chili flakes during cooking.
