How to Make Thai Red Chicken Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 4 tablespoons of red curry paste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook in batches, browning the chicken evenly. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup of chicken stock, and 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and the juice of 1 lime.
  6. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over steamed white rice, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
