Red- Curry Chicken Stir Fry

This is a great recipe from Everyday Food.  I prepared this a few days ahead of time by chopping up the chicken and marinating it in the red curry paste rather than following the directions of the recipe.  I also trimmed the beans (I didn't use snow peas, just green beans, it's all I had) and washed them, and put them in a ziploc bag with a paper towel.  I chopped up the pineapple as well, and placed it in a container in the fridge.

When I was ready to cook the meal, it came together very quickly thanks to all the prep, and so it will be on rotation for weeknight meals for a while.  My daughter wasn't impressed with the basil flavor, so next time I'll leave that out.  I served this with jasmine rice.

Enjoy!
