Five Ingredient Red Curry Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the coconut milk with the curry paste and fish sauce until combined. Heat a large skillet until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and heat until just smoking. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook over high heat, turning once, until the chicken is browned but not cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and pour off the fat in the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the shiitake caps and stir-fry over high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic, stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, red curry mixture and the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken and curry sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with peanuts and cilantro. Serve immediately with rice and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1/2 of the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is browned and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Add remaining oil to the same pan. Saute remaining garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chile paste. Add coconut milk and stir until blended. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add chicken broth, lemongrass, lime leaves, lime juice, and fish sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Add chicken and broccoli, and simmer gently for 10 more minutes. Taste and season as necessary. Serve over warm rice.

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.
