Thai cooking there are so many intrinsically easy recipes that you can make with just a few staples from the Asian aisle of your nearest supermarket. Thai red curry chicken — a one-pan dish of chicken pieces simmered in a bright, curry-infused coconut milk sauce — is one of those dishes. It comes together in just 30 minutes with minimal prep work.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil: 1 Tbsp
  • small scallions: 1 bunch (thinly sliced, light and dark green parts divided)
  • garlic: 3 clove (chopped)
  • jalapeño pepper: 1 piece (seeded and diced. 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.)
  • coconut milk: 1 can (14-oz, unsweetened)
  • thai red curry paste: 2 Tbsp
  • fish sauce: 2 Tbsp
  • packed dark brown sugar: 2.5 Tbsp
  • chicken tenderloins: 1.5 pound (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • lime juice: 1 Tbsp (from 1 lime)
  • cilantro: 0.25 cup (fresh; chopped)

  1. The spice level of this dish will vary depending on the brand of curry paste you use. The brand I use above (Thai Kitchen) makes for a mild, family-friendly dish. For more heat,  add a drizzle of sriracha, some of the seeds of the jalapeño, or some crushed red pepper flakes.
