Thai Chicken Curry

Homemade Thai chicken curry that's quicker than delivery

I absolutely love Thai food, but I have pretty high standards for the take-out places I use. I really haven't found one I like within delivery range, so I decided to make one of my favorite dishes on my own: chicken curry. I've made more complicated versions of chicken and vegetable curry before, but to save time, I like to use store-bought Thai curry paste. I adjusted this recipe to add some heat, but the whole meal was still ready in thirty minutes. Make sure serve some rice with it to soak up all the rich, coconut-milky sauce.

Note: I used red curry paste in this recipe, but you can also use green curry paste for a slightly different color and flavor.
