Description

A simple recipe for a flavorful chicken curry served over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add red curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
  7. Add fish sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  9. Serve the curry over cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the spice level.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes at the end.
