Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Start by chopping the fresh garlic and ginger finely. Then, cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and ginger, sautéing them until they’re fragrant and golden brown—about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until they’re golden brown on all sides, roughly 5-6 minutes.
  • Pour in the creamy coconut milk, vegetable broth, and red curry paste. Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
  • Once done, sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro over the dish. Serve it over rice or alongside roasted veggies.
