Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 6 chicken thigh fillets, halved (breasts can be used, I cut into strips)
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, chopped (kumara, the orange one)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (I use skim evaporated coconut milk)
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves, whole leaves (cilantro)

Method

  • Place the curry paste in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken and sweet potato to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then add the stock and coconut milk and reduce the heat to low.
  • Allow to simmer gently for 12 minutes or until the chicken and sweet potato are cooked.
  • To serve, sprinkle the coriander over the chicken and serve with steamed rice or steamed greens.
