I personally love Thai style red curry chicken that's about an 8.5 on the hot scale ... how about you?
I've been making Thai style chicken red curry for several years so that I've pretty much got my recipe down to a science. Over the years, I've tweaked my recipe for chicken red curry to make it more tasty. I've finally hit upon the right combination of ingredients that makes my chicken red curry taste just as good as you get in Thai restaurants. That's what my hubby says!

How to make MY killer chicken red curry
I'm revealing my recipe!
- Heat a large skillet with the olive oil on medium heat.
- Cut the chicken into strips. I like it 1/2 inch x 2 inches.
- Add the chicken to the hot olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to cook on both sides.
- When the chicken is white, season with the garlic salt and add the coconut milk and red curry paste, stirring until the curry is distributed.
- Add the soy sauce, bamboo shoots, and vegetables.
- Turn the heat down a bit and continue to simmer.
- Add the rice to boiling water. You'll want to time it to be ready when your curry is ready.
- Add the Equal to the curry and stir well.
- When you rice is ready, your curry should be ready.
- I like to serve my curry in a flat soup bowl. In the middle of the bowl, place several tablespoons of the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I recommend a good cast-iron pan for making your red curry!
