Easy Yellow Curry Chicken and Potatoes

We love curry in our house, and this dish is EASY and so delicious! You can add extra red curry paste for a little extra kick of flavor too. Like most curry dishes we paired this a serving of brown rice. Enjoy!

Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1/4 of dish

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons yellow curry paste [or 3 tablespoons red curry paste and 1 tablespoon curry powder]
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs – cut into bit sized pieces
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth or water
  • 2 medium yukon gold potatoes – cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 medium sweet yellow onion – cut into thick wedges
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions:

  1. Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat – bring 1 cup of the coconut milk to a boil for about 3 minutes. Add curry paste, stir in well to fully dissolve. Add chicken thighs – stir well.
  2. Add remaining coconut milk, chicken broth, potatoes, onion, fish sauce and brown sugar – bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165* and potatoes are tender. Serve with a side of rice. Enjoy!
