Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz chicken cut into chunks
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup mango chunks
  • 1 shallot sliced
  • 4 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
  • 4 tablespoons garlic peeled
  • 1 jalaepno
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 tablespoons Thair herb paste (usually found in produce by the boxed herbs)
  • 4 tablespoons hot yellow curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons turmeric
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • cooked basmati rice for serving
  • cilantro for topping
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • Peel and mince the ginger. Trim the jalapeño, leaving the seeds intact if desired for spiciness. Use a food processor to blend together the mango, shallot, ginger, garlic, and jalapeño until the mixture resembles a paste.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, add a tablespoon of butter and brown the chicken until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Without cleaning the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Add the contents of the food processor to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the red curry paste, hot curry powder, and turmeric. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk until smooth then pour in the chicken broth, fish sauce, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer then add the cooked chicken chunks. Cook until the chicken is heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Serve on a bed of rice garnished with cilantro, as desired. Enjoy!

Alternate Cooking Method:

  • Make curry according to the instructions above - pour over chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Cook 3 hours on high, 6 hours on low, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve over rice.
