How to Make The Best Thai Red Chicken Curry Recipe

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 4 tablespoons of Thai red curry paste and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add 1 cup of your favorite vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli florets, bamboo shoots, zucchini), cut into bite-sized pieces. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  5. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken before adding it to the curry.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with extra basil leaves, if desired.
