Chicken Panang Curry Recipe

"A red curry made with coconut milk. This goes well with chicken, beef, pork, or just veggies! For this recipe I used chicken, but adjust according to taste. Serve with sticky rice."

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste, or more to taste
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Thai seasoning (optional)

    1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat. Add curry paste; fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk. Bring to a slow boil. Stir in chicken, fish sauce, brown sugar, Thai seasoning, and garlic. Simmer until sauce starts to thicken and chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
    2. Stir red bell pepper into the wok; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemongrass and basil; stir to distribute flavors, about 1 minute.

    Footnotes

    • Cook’s Note:
    • You do not want to boil it so much that an orange oil appears on top; reduce the heat if this happens.
    • If you are scaling this recipe up or down, count on using 1 can of coconut milk for every 2 to 3 chicken breasts.
