Description

This comforting Yellow Curry Chicken combines tender chicken breast with coconut milk, red curry paste, yellow curry powder, carrots, peas, potatoes, and fresh vegetables. Fish sauce and sugar balance the savory, spicy, and lightly sweet flavors, while the coconut milk creates a rich curry sauce. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice for a hearty main course.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pre-cook the potatoes and carrots by boiling or steaming until just tender but not fully cooked, as they will continue cooking in the curry.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
  3. Wash and cut the fresh vegetables into bite-size pieces.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add the red curry paste and about one-third of the coconut milk.
  6. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and well combined.
  7. Increase the heat and add the chicken.
  8. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is partially cooked.
  9. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar, salt, and remaining coconut milk.
  10. Add the yellow curry powder, pre-cooked potatoes, carrots, and water or chicken stock.
  11. Add the bay leaf if using.
  12. Simmer briefly to blend the flavors.
  13. Add the fresh vegetables and frozen peas.
  14. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is completely cooked through.
  15. Serve hot, with steamed jasmine rice if desired.
