Simple and quick recipe for spicy Thai curry chicken. Serve with steamed rice or rice noodles.
Submitted by: The Spice House from Milwaukee, WI
Yield: 2 servings, may be doubled
Preparation Instructions:
Place the chicken between two sheets of waxed paper, using a mallet or rolling pin, pound out the chicken until an even 1/2 inch thickness. Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the chicken, saute until browned and almost cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
While chicken is cooking, combine curry powder with a few spoonfuls of warm water and stir it into a paste.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the green onion and curry paste to the skillet, stir 1 minute. Add broth and boil until reduced to a glaze, about another minute. Add the coconut milk and cook down, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats a spoon. Mix in lime juice. Return chicken and any collected juices to the skillet. Reduce the heat to med-low, simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates, and spoon the sauce over evenly.

We just got this spice blend along with a “general restock” of pantry spices since we liked the last curry blend we bought here. I made this recipe tonight, but tweaked it due to our having some other veggies to add in – Savoy cabbage, peppers and green beans. I doubled the curry/coconut milk/lime juice to allow for all the added veggies, and it turned out really well! Next time I make this, I’ll add in a little of your MSG since my wife and I both feel it needed just a “nudge” of umami.
Hello. The recipe for Chicken with Coconut Red Curry Sauce calls for 2t Thai red curry, which is a powder. The instructions say to add the red curry “paste”. Is the curry powder made into a paste? If so, how? Hydrating it?
Would love to try this recipe but want to make sure beforehand. Thank you.
