THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN



Thai Red Curry Chicken image

This fragrant Thai chicken curry is a one-pan dish that comes together in just 30 minutes.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced, light and dark green parts divided
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced (see note)
1 (14-oz) can coconut milk (unsweetened)
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2½ tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1½ pounds chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon lime juice, from 1 lime
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan. Add the light scallions, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not brown.
  • Add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar and whisk together. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, a few minutes. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not let the sauce boil; the idea is to cook the chicken gently so that it's tender.) Stir in the lime juice, dark scallion greens, and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime, if necessary. Serve with jasmine rice.
  • Note: As always, take care when working with jalapeño peppers. If you touch the seeds or ribs, be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.
  • Note: It's important to wait until you're ready to eat to cook the chicken. If you want to get a head start, prepare the sauce up until the point when the chicken is added. Take it off the heat and then poach the chicken right before serving. If the chicken sits in the hot curry sauce for too long before serving, it will overcook.

GRILLED THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN



Grilled Thai Red Curry Chicken image

I LOVE Thai Curry, but I didn't like the idea of simmering chicken in coconut milk for an hour and serving it all together...too many calories! This way you marinate to get the flavor and then cook the sauce separately to serve on the side (or not have any at all) Topping with lime slices and basil, also infuses extra flavor without adding calories. This isn't really a low-cal dish, just a LOWER calorie dish than the original. If you cannot find red curry paste look for asian chili paste and add equal amounts of that and powdered curry...it's not quite the same, but it'll do. (prep time does not include time to marinate)
