Follow these simple steps to create your Simple Summertime Basil Chicken Curry with Coconut Ginger-Lime Rice:

1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
2. Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, grated ginger, lime zest, and lime juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, and sauté until it becomes translucent.
4. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Curry Paste: Add the red curry paste and cook for another minute, mixing well.
6. Add Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
7. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice according to your preference. Stir in the chopped basil right before serving.
9. Fluff Rice: Once the rice is done cooking, fluff it with a fork and keep covered until ready to serve.
10. Serve: Serve the basil chicken curry over a bed of coconut ginger-lime rice and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

The detailed steps ensure that you can create this delightful dish without hassle.
