Thai Red Curry Chicken Recipe

Your tastebuds will be singing and dancing with this creamy, tangy, spicy Thai chicken curry.

My love of Thai food began when I got married and moved to California. My husband and I used to eat at Tep Thai which was down the road from where we lived. We still eat there whenever we are in California and I think it's the best Thai food I've ever had... even better than the food I had in Thailand ðŸ˜‰


This recipe is quick and easy especially since I use red curry paste from a jar. I make it with boneless chicken breast because that's the only part of the chicken my family eats. I always keep Thai red chilies, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass in my freezer as these are essential ingredients for this curry and many Thai recipes.
