Green Curry Chicken Over Rice Noodles

This is nice dish for those who don't want overly spicy curry. I like lots of heat but my wife doesn't. This version seemed to suit her taste. Like they say; happy wife, happy life.

Make your own curry paste if you have a combination that works for you. I used a bottled paste from Thai Kitchen.

I served this over rice noodles but basmati rice would work as well. Though I used grilled chicken I would have preferred salmon fillets but didn't have fish on hand.

Spicy food pairs well with Riesling or Gewurztraminer wine. I had a Cline Sonoma Coast 2012 Gewürztraminer that work nicely. It has bright acidity with hints of lemon, lime and honey.
