    Love this one! I do my chicken in the air fryer and it makes it so tender! Also add some green beans and spinach to get some veg in there, and use light coconut milk for slightly fewer calories. This has become one of our favourites now!

    this method is clearly missing sowm steps right? like it says a splash of coconut milk curry paste and seasoning makes a broth... like I pay for this

    really delicious recipe! first recipe since joining, easy to make and quick. I’d like to add maybe a vegetable, pakchoy or something for more nutrition and maybe try skin on chicken to crisp it up a little- I saw a comment using honey which might help,

    Wowee.. This is my first recipe made since joining MOB. It was quick and easy to prepare and tasted delicious! I did use Red Thai paste, as I already had that, plus I like a bit spicier. Will definatley be making this again.

    Extremely tasty! I didn’t have any yellow curry paste in the fridge so used red curry paste… still tasted amazing. I added some steamed tenderstem broccoli too.

    Super quick and delicious! like others here, I would add a little more curry paste, less water, and some MSG instead of salt. Another triumph from MOB!

    EXTREMELY delicious! Adding to our weekly rotation. I added the tweaks suggested here to deglaze the frying pan with honey and lime juice and it was super tasty!

    I love this recipe and have made it for everyone I know 😂 Swapped in Thai red paste as yellow paste was a nightmare to find (eventually got some in Whole Foods in the US) but red is just as nice.

    Really good, I added sliced mushrooms into the sauce as it cooked and then topped with some brocolli. Will definitely make again

    amazing meal! I baked the chicken and broiled it the last minute for a nice crisp! tastes just like the take out and it only cost me 45 bucks!

    really good! though I added less water, more curry paste and thickened the sauce at the end as I don’t enjoy a thin sauce. I air fried the chicken and did 5 mins on max crisp as per one of the comments on here, it turned out really good!

    Great recipe, quick to put together and very tasty. Will definitely be making it again and I’ll add some veg to.

    This was a great recipe which is made even better by - upon taking the chicken out of the pan - using some honey, half a lime’s juice and water to deglaze it. Use this to drizzle over the chicken before the chilli oil. I also used crispy shallots instead of crispy onions 👌

    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!!
