Description

A delightful Thai Coconut Chicken recipe that combines tender chicken thighs with creamy coconut milk and fragrant red curry paste for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  3. In a bowl, mix together coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Pour the coconut mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
  5. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For a spicier dish, adjust the amount of red curry paste. Adding vegetables such as bell peppers or snap peas can enhance nutrition and color.
