Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tbsp Red Curry Paste
  • 13.5 oz Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce (Substitute Soy Sauce)
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 3-4 Lime Leaves
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 4 cups Cooked Rice

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of Chicken Thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2Heat the 1 tbsp of Vegetable Oil in a large pot or 12-inch skillet over medium heat, which is 350°F (177°C).
  3. 3Add the 2 tbsp of Red Curry Paste to the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until it smells fragrant.
  4. 4Add the cut 1.5 lbs of Chicken Thighs to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 5Pour in the 13.5 oz of Coconut Milk. Add the 1 cup of Pineapple Chunks, 1 chopped Bell Pepper, 1 tbsp of Fish Sauce (or Soy Sauce), 1 tsp of Sugar, and 3-4 Lime Leaves. Stir everything together.
  6. 6Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, which is 300°F (150°C). Let it cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the sauce has thickened slightly.
