Time 29m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 (16 ounce) package skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small cubes
1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut (such as Trader Joe's® Extra Thick and Rich)
1 (11 ounce) bottle red Thai curry sauce (such as Trader Joe's®)
½ (16 ounce) package dried rice stick vermicelli noodles

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add chicken cubes; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-high and add coconut cream and curry sauce. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in vermicelli pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Reduce skillet heat to simmer. Add the noodles and let simmer until flavors are absorbed, about 5 minutes. Divide chicken and noodles among individual serving bowls.

RED CURRY CHICKEN

Warm up on a chilly fall evening with this Thai-inspired curry. The classic mix of sweet coconut milk and savory red curry paste are sure to liven up a weeknight meal. Instead of a traditional wok, I am using a casserole dish and letting the chicken braise in the oven.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk (not light)
3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 lemongrass stalks, trimmed and banged with the back of a knife, then roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into rounds
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 6 pieces
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/2 cup roughly chopped basil (preferably Thai basil)
Lime wedges, for serving
Cooked rice or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk the coconut milk, curry paste, and fish sauce together in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; add the onion, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger. Lightly season the chicken and add it to the baking dish, turning to coat in the sauce, then arranging it skin-side-up.
  • Bake the chicken, basting occasionally with the sauce, until lightly browned on top and cooked through (an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast registers 160 degrees F), 50 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro and basil and serve with lime wedges on the side. Serve with cooked rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for this recipe, as it allows you to easily stir and cook the chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your curry the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but make sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of red curry paste you use will determine the spice level of your curry. If you like your curry mild, use less paste. If you like it spicy, use more paste.

Conclusion:

This five-ingredient red curry chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
