Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon red curry paste, or more to taste
-
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
-
2 tablespoons fish sauce
-
2 teaspoons brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon Thai seasoning (Optional)
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (Optional)
-
1 stalk lemongrass, bottom third only, peeled and minced
-
¼ cup Thai basil leaves, torn into bite-size pieces
Directions
-
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat. Add curry paste; fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk. Bring to a slow boil. Stir in chicken, fish sauce, brown sugar, Thai seasoning, and garlic. Simmer until sauce starts to thicken and chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Stir red bell pepper into the wok; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemongrass and basil; stir to distribute flavors, about 1 minute.
Cook's Note:
You do not want to boil it so much that an orange oil appears on top; reduce the heat if this happens.
If you are scaling this recipe up or down, count on using 1 can of coconut milk for every 2 to 3 chicken breasts.
