Add the oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender. Add the carrots and potatoes, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Add the coconut milk and chicken broth, peanut butter, brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce (optional), and curry paste. Stir until the peanut butter and curry paste are fully incorporated, then bring the mixture to a low boil for 10 minutes. Add the chicken, zucchini, and bell pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Remove from the heat, and serve over rice. Garnish with peanuts, lime, and Thai basil/cilantro, if desired.
