Mr. Mother Thyme is not a huge fan of curry dishes. He doesn’t know what he’s missing. Sometimes it’s chef rules in my kitchen and what’s on the menu is what’s on the table. I’ve been craving Thai food and there are not too many good Thai restaurants near us so I often make Thai at home. Instead of craving my usual Pad Thai had I have been in the mood for curry, especially red curry.

This Red Curry Chicken is quick, simple and Mr. Mother Thyme approved. Ye, he actually likes this. Maybe I can convert him to curry after all.  The red curry sauce is slightly sweeten with canned coconut milk and also adds a little creaminess to the sauce. The sauce is what makes this dish. I can’t get enough of it. It’s one of those sauces you keep tasting because its so good.

I love the aroma of this dish when simmering on the stove too. It smells so good you just can’t wait to eat. And when it’s time to eat I like to serve this over rice and even some chunks of crusty bread for dipping in the extra sauce.

PREP AHEAD TIP

Short on time? Prep the chicken, veggies and the sauce the night ahead of time. You can also make the sauce and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, assemble all your prepped ingredients and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time!
