Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into bite sized pieces
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 ¾ cup milk almond, oat, or regular
- cornstarch slurry made with 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 teaspoons fish sauce
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 lime juiced
- cilantro and chives to garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet heat the oil over medium heat and add the red pepper and onion, sautee for around 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the onions start to become translucent.
- Add the chicken, salt and pepper, garlic, and 2 tablespoons red curry paste. Stir until well combined and sautee for around 5 minutes until the chicken is almost completely cooked. All the chicken pieces should be white on the outside and starting to firm up.
- Stir in the milk, slurry, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and additional 1 tablespoon of red curry paste. Stir until the curry paste is well mixed into the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for around 5-7 minutes until the mixture has reduced and thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon in a thin layer. When done, garnish with cilantro and chives then serve over rice.

Notes
- Storage: The curry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Tip: Be sure to gently simmer the sauce. A rough boil will risk overcooking the chicken and the sauce splattering everywhere especially as it thickens. Medium to medium-low heat works great.
