This tangy Thai-inspired recipe makes a very strong argument for chicken being the most delicious meats of all-time.

    absolutely loved this. I used red paste instead and twice the amount listed, I also omitted the water completely so it was quite creamy and rich. So good!!

    I really love this recipe, but will use less water next time. I added green beans and tenderstems to the broth and toasted cashews to the garnish to add that extra crunch 😋

    delicious! think a tiny bit more Thai paste doesn’t go amiss, also only used one lime as others suggested, which was more than enough! Airfryed the chicken and put on max grill for the last 5 minutes to achieve a nice char on them. Partner loved and will be adding this to our weekly new fav staple!

    loved this recipe! like others, we only used 1 lime for 4 servings with minimal water (perfect amount and thickness of sauce). To get some veggies in, we also added spinach and fresh tomatoes to the sauce for the last 5 mins. For the chicken, we cut breasts in half/thirds and cooked in the air fryer until the sauce was charring, and let to rest before slicing. While the chicken was resting, we quickly made some crispy kale in the air fryer, which topped the dish.

    don't know if it's cos I didn't air fry my chicken but I have this so disappointing and wet!? I I think if I airfryed the chicken for crispiness as it didn't crisp up whatsoever in the pan I fried in. also find chicken thighs just the worst bit of the chicken?

    I love this recipe! But, I would say one lime is defo enough for four people, and also I would say 300ml of water with the 400ml of coconut milk is too much liquid! we followed the recipe for four people xx Still amazing, would highly recommend cooking this!! xx

    This was a great meal and very filling. We too used red curry paste as that’s all I had in and it was very flavourful. I cooked the chicken in the air fryer and it worked well.

    Absolutely loved this recipe, so flavoursome! I made it with Thai red curry paste & hoisin sauce instead.

    This looks really good and much closer to the picture in the video. Mine looked pale green. I’m going to try red paste next time and your hoisin idea.

    Delicious! We used hoisin sauce rather than oyster sauce due to personal taste and the chicken turned out beautifully.

    Fry the coconut milk? What in? And the shallots? Crispy? Lightly browned?
