Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons yellow curry paste
  • 2 cups of canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 to 2 large potatoes peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  • Place the coconut oil in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the curry paste and a few tablespoons of the coconut milk. Stir well to break up the curry paste and get it hot and fragrant. 
  • Stir in the rest of the coconut milk, the fish sauce, and brown sugar. Then stir in the chicken. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes until it is no longer pink then add the potatoes, onion and chicken broth. 
  • Cover the saucepan and continue to cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender. 

Notes

You can substitute bone-in chicken thighs for more flavor but if you use whole, bone in thighs you will need to cook the chicken for a few minutes longer before adding the vegetables. Bone-in chicken thighs will take longer to cook than the bite sized pieces of chicken breast.
