Ingredients
  

Easy Thai Curry Chicken

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil - divided use
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken - thin-sliced
  • ½ medium onion - thin-sliced
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 bell peppers - thin-sliced
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar - brown or turbinado
  • 1 lime - zest and juice
  • salt is likely unnecessary because fish sauce is salty - taste before adding

Thai Curry Chicken Tacos

  • Thai curry chicken - Ingredients above
  • mango salsa
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • garnishes - lime wedges, cilantro, basil, extra fish sauce

Instructions

  • Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and the sesame oil to the sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken until some edges begin to brown. Remove from the pan.
  • Add a bit more oil if the pan is dry. Sauté onion until it begins to soften, then add ginger and garlic.
  • Add the bell peppers to the onions. Sauté until peppers start to soften.
  • Whisk the coconut milk through lime juice and zest together.
  • Add the chicken to the vegetables, then stir in the red curry sauce. Simmer gently (uncovered) until the sauce reduces slightly (about 10 minutes).
  • While the chicken curry simmers, make the mango salsa, and prep any other toppings.
  • Warm the tortillas by your preferred method.
