Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken thigh sliced into bite-sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- 4 ounces panang curry paste
- 14 ounces coconut milk preferably full-fat for a richer taste
- 4-5 kaffir lime leaves torn or thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2-3 red chili peppers sliced diagonally
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for sautéing
- basil Thai basil preferred, for garnish, fresh leaves
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add the Panang curry paste to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the paste becomes fragrant and slightly darker in color.
- Pour half of the coconut milk (about 7 oz or 200ml) into the pan. Stir well to combine with the curry paste. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you see the oil start to separate from the coconut milk (this enhances the flavor).
- Add the sliced chicken thighs to the pan. Stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly with the curry sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
- Pour in the remaining coconut milk. Add the kaffir lime leaves and half of the sliced red chilies. Stir in the palm sugar and fish sauce. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. For more sweetness, add a bit more palm sugar. For saltiness, add additional fish sauce. For heat, add more sliced chilies.
- Remove the curry from heat. Garnish with the remaining red chilies and fresh basil leaves. Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice.

Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust the spice level by adding or reducing the chilies.
- Simmer the curry long enough for the sauce to thicken and deepen in flavor.
- Serve over jasmine rice or with naan.
