Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers, carrot, onion, and separate the broccoli florets. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Chicken

    Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, around 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Curry Paste

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the flavors.

  4. 6

    Pour in Coconut Milk

    Add the coconut milk to the pot, stirring to combine with the chicken and curry paste.

  5. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli florets to the pot, and stir well.

  6. 8

    Season the Curry

    Add fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Stir to combine and let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  7. 9

    Finish with Basil

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves just before serving.
