Yellow Thai Chicken Coconut Curry
No need for takeout from your local Thai restaurant when you can make an authentic-tasting curry this good in 25 minutes at home.
The curry is hearty yet healthy comfort food that’s layered with Thai-inspired flavors and is naturally gluten-free.
I could drink the coconut milk broth or prepare it as a soup – it’s so good and it keeps the chicken so juicy and moist. I used full fat coconut milk but have used lite in previous curry recipes and it may not be quite as rich, but it’s still great.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons olive oil (coconut oil may be substituted)
1 medium/large sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, diced small
1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 to 3 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 to 4 tablespoons Mekhala Organic Yellow Curry Paste, or as desired
one 13.5-ounce can coconut milk (use full-fat for a richer/thicker result but lite may be substituted)
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 to 3 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed (2 to 3 heaping handfuls)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice, optional but recommended
1/4 to 1/3 cup fresh cilantro or to taste, finely chopped for garnishing (basil may be substituted)
1 to 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed; optional and to taste
salt, optional and to taste
rice (jasmine or basmati) or naan, optional for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is done; flip and stir often to ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic, turmeric, ginger, coriander, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.
Add the curry paste, coconut milk, carrots, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly.
Add the spinach, pepper, and stir until the spinach has wilted.
Taste the curry and add the optional but recommended lime juice (brightens the flavor of the dish), cilantro, optional light brown sugar (balances the heat), optional salt (I did not add any because the curry paste has salt in it), and add extra of any of the spices already used or more curry paste, if desired and to taste. Curry will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
