Directions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in chicken, and cook until the pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the coconut milk, return the chicken to the pan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the onions and peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce and serve.

I thought this was fantastic! I made it for my husband on his birthday and he liked it better than our favorite Thai place. I used 3 teaspoons of curry paste instead of one to add some more flavor/spice as well as a teaspoon of course salt. My picky 3 year old cleaned her plate! Read More

I found it very bland. Perhaps the brand of curry paste makes a big difference but I even added twice as much of the Pataks red curry sauce and it still wasn't very tasty. I tried some garam masala on it and it helped a little. Read More

Fantastic! So good we had no leftovers! Very easy to make. Served it with brown rice. Next time I will add a little more curry paste as we like ours a little spicier. Read More

We loved this! My future changes to suite our tastes will be to add 1/2 C of chicken broth mixed with 2 Tbs of corn starch to thicken it and make the sauce go a little farther. I added frozen green beans just before covering and they added a nice contrast to the yellow and orange bell pepper. This one is a keeper. Read More

Make certain to use curry paste and not curry sauce. This comes in a tiny jar and is thick like school paste. Very potent try the 1tsp first. If you'd like it spicier once the sauce is assembled you can always blend more paste with a spoonful of the sauce then add to the pan. this way you don't wind up with hidden chunks of paste.

As suggested by another review I greatly increased the red curry paste. I tripled it and I could have added even more. Also since I am not a huge fish fan when I make this again I will add less fish sauce. SO more curry paste and less fish sauce makes a great tasting dish that I love. Read More

Loved it! I cut the chicken into bite sized chunks and trippled the curry paste. I also doubled the sugar and added red pepper flakes in place of the fish sauce. I added corn starch to thicken the sauce. Yum! Read More
