Description
This Trader Joe’s chicken curry recipe is nutritious, flavorful, and EASY! Use the Trader Joe’s Thai red curry sauce for a flavor shortcut.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast meat (I like the thinly sliced tenders)
- olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
- 12 oz. sweet potato ribbons
- 12 oz. haricots verts
- 2–11 oz. jars Thai red curry sauce
- naan and/or rice for serving
Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces (I used a kitchen shears for this job, which makes it really easy!).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large sauté pan. When oil is hot, add chicken and season with salt & pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-7 minutes, until chicken is lightly browned.
- Add sweet potato ribbons and all of the curry sauce to the pan. (Add a tablespoon of water to jars and shake to get out every drop.)
- Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, snip the corner off of haricot verts bag and microwave for 2 minutes.
- Add beans to pan, stir together, cover and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Serve with naan or rice.
Notes
- Extras: I haven’t tried this yet, but there was a comment on my TikTok video that said an employee suggested adding a jar of mango chutney so you could do that instead of second jar of sauce.
- The red curry is mildly spicy, use yellow curry for a milder version.

This is SO good!! I might skip the beans next time or maybe just use half the bag but I really liked this for a quick lunch with rice. Thanks!

Made this tonight & it was great! Thank you! I used yellow curry bc I prefer it to red. TJ was out of the sweet potato ribbons so I just got a fresh sweet potato, peeled , chopped into 1” cubes & microwaved it for 3 minutes. Then added to pan. Served it over jasmine rice.Very easy , very tasty! This will become a go-to recipe!
