Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts Thighs provide a richer flavor.
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk Use light coconut milk for a lower calorie option.
  • ½ cup Thai peanut sauce (or satay sauce) Homemade versions are also delightful.
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste Adjust to your heat preference.
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce Substitute with soy sauce or tamari for a vegetarian option.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned.
  2. Pour in the coconut milk, peanut sauce, red curry paste, and fish sauce. Stir to combine and ensure the chicken is well coated.
  3. Simmer the mixture for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Serve hot over rice or with noodles, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Common mistakes include overcooking the chicken and skipping the simmering step. For added depth, include chopped vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas, and serve with lime wedges.
