Thai Curried Chicken Thighs Recipes

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
• Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
• Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
• Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until garlic begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, curry paste, ginger, fish sauce, chile paste, and coriander; stir until evenly coated and well mixed.
• Stir coconut milk and 1/2 cup water into the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, zucchini, and bell pepper. Continue to simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more.
• Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/2 cup water in a small bowl; stir into the simmering mixture. Uncover, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and lime juice just prior to serving.

Steps:

• Trim chicken of any extra fat. Zest and juice the lime. In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, cumin, curry, chili paste, lime zest and juice, mix well.
• Reserve about 1/3 of the sauce for after, but add the chicken to the rest. Mix well, cover and marinate-anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight.
• Heat bbq or grill pan and cook chicken on both side until cooked though-those cool grill marks are perfect here. While the chcken cooks, simmer the extra sauce in a small pot to thicken.
• Slice into strips, serve on top of rice with a little extra sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro.

THAI STYLE CURRY WITH CHICKEN THIGHS AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Start by prepping all your veggies while your skillet comes to temperature on low, with a drop of oil or butter just enough to coat the pan.
• Add the chicken and keep turning over. If your chicken browns your pan is too hot. Bring to temperature and add your chopped garlic when most of the raw pink is no longer visible. Simmer together until the pink is completely gone.
• Use 1 tbs of curry and sprinkle in over the chicken with your other spices, minus sugar. Add the other tbs to the cauliflower which is still off to the side.
• Add your coconut milk, sugar, and and other veggies minus the cauliflower and pineapple. Bring to a simmer.
• Now you can add the cauliflower and pineapple. Simmer covered until the cauliflower breaks down and looks almost like rice; this will take 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
