Easy Chicken Curry

Weeknight cooking doesn't get any easier than this endlessly adaptable five-ingredient, 30-minute curry from Mark Bittman. Sauté a pile of chopped onions in a little oil, then stir in curry powder (or red curry paste for Thai flavors). Pour in a can of coconut milk and swirl to combine. Add chicken, simmer until it's cooked through and finish with some chopped tomatoes. And dinner is served! This recipe lends itself to experimentation, so change it up. Be generous with spices. Toss in chopped bell pepper or carrots with the onions. Add a can of drained chickpeas or a generous handful of fresh spinach with the tomatoes. Instead of chicken, try shrimp, duck, turkey, firm fish, tofu, lump crab meat or beef. Just watch the cooking time: Fish, shrimp and crab cook faster than other meats. Also, don't forget to season as you go with salt and pepper.

About this Recipe

Craving the comforting warmth and vibrant spices of a classic Thai curry? This Thai Chicken Curry Recipe delivers authentic flavors right to your kitchen, making a delicious meal that’s both satisfying and inviting.

This recipe shines by building a deep, complex flavor profile from core Thai ingredients. It leverages the intense aromatic punch of Thai green curry paste, softened by rich coconut milk, and balanced with the savory depth of fish sauce. Fresh ginger and garlic provide an aromatic foundation that truly elevates the tender chicken and fresh vegetables.

What to expect from this dish is a creamy, aromatic curry with a beautiful balance of savory, sweet, and tangy notes. The chicken thighs offer a tender, succulent texture, while the cubed eggplant absorbs the rich sauce, and crisp snow peas add a refreshing bite. The finish is bright and zesty from fresh lime juice, making each spoonful a delightful experience perfect for a cozy weeknight or a relaxed weekend dinner.

Feel free to customize this Thai Chicken Curry to your liking. Instead of chicken thighs, you could easily use chicken breast, firm tofu, or even shrimp. To add more texture and nutrition, consider incorporating additional vegetables like bell peppers, bamboo shoots, or broccoli florets. If you prefer a less spicy curry, you can adjust the amount of green curry paste to taste.

Serve this aromatic Thai chicken curry over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice to soak up every last drop of the rich, flavorful sauce. It’s a complete meal on its own, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
