Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Curry:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup yellow curry paste
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk

Instructions
- Heat Oil and Curry Paste: In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add yellow curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

- Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in remaining coconut milk and chicken broth. Add potatoes, onion, and red bell pepper. Stir in fish sauce and brown sugar.
- Simmer: Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, adjust seasoning if needed, garnish with cilantro, and serve with jasmine rice.
Notes
