Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons red curry paste

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, slicing the onion, bell pepper, and prepping the broccoli florets.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and onions are translucent (about 3 minutes).

      Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

        Combine with Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste, cooking for another 2 minutes until meat is well-coated and the curry is fragrant.

          Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, mixing vigorously to combine the curry paste evenly. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

            Mix in Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

              Season the Curry: Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, ensuring everything is well intertwined. Adjust seasoning as needed.

                Serve: Serve the Thai red curry chicken over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch.
