Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil/vegetable oil)
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into ⅛-inch thick slices
  • 2 (13.5 oz) cans of coconut milk
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 (4 oz.) can of massaman curry paste or homemade curry paste (see below)
  • 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts

Optional Ingredient Substitutions:

  • Replace chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter if you have a peanut allergy.
  • Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegan version.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by dicing the onion and slicing the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the chicken breasts into even strips.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Add Potatoes and Carrots

  • Add the chopped potatoes and carrots to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: Combine Coconut Milk and Broth

  • Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Incorporate the Curry Flavors

  • Add peanut butter, brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, and red curry paste. Stir well to blend all the ingredients, ensuring the peanut butter is fully dissolved.

Step 6: Cook the Chicken

  • Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes before adding the sliced chicken. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

  • Remove from heat and serve over freshly cooked white or brown rice. Top with chopped roasted peanuts, a wedge of lime, and fresh Thai basil if desired.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, always use fresh coconut milk and high-quality curry paste.
  • Balance the Sweetness: Adjust the brown sugar and lime juice to find your preferred balance of sweetness and tanginess.
  • Substitute Chicken: Feel free to use beef or tofu as an alternative protein to diversify the dish.
