How to Make Chicken Stir Fry In Coconut Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.) and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp and onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
  5. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Optional: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add to the curry and stir until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges (optional).
