Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Asparagus

Thai green curry paste has an incredibly bold, concentrated taste as well as spicy heat. Here, it is tempered by rich, creamy coconut milk. A sprinkle of fragrant Thai basil over the curry just before serving adds a freshness that perks up all of the complex flavors in the dish.
